Posted by: Lizzie

So the other day I was trying to take a Darvocet-induced nap when I kept hearing this insane giggling coming from the kitchen.  My first thought was that Jamie was having a tickle-fest with Simon because I have never heard him laugh that hard and for that long unless something was seriously hilarious.  I decided to forgo the nap and see what on earth could be the cause of all the insanity.  Turns out, the Fedex truck had arrived Read more…

The thing I like most about this Wooden Matching Memory Game (aside from the adorable owls of course) is that the pieces won’t get all warped and gooey when they get chewed on.  And that means no cheating!

Picking toys for a baby is not as simple as it sounds. Here are some quick baby facts:
  • Toys for a newborn baby: A newborn baby is briefly looking at objects and attempting to imitate facial expressions. They can follow objects with their eyes and usually quiet down, when they are picked up.
  • Toys for a three month old: They will enjoy ‘frolic play’, reaching for objects and will repeat enjoyable activities. Believe it or not, they will respond to ‘no’ (about half the time) and will start babbling.
  • Toys for a six month old: They’ll search for hidden objects (object permanence). They’ll reach for themselves in the mirror, play peekaboo, crumple paper, roll from their stomach to their back and even respond to their name.
  • Toys for a nine month old: They are pushing toy cars, playing pat-a-cake and looking for hidden sounds. The baby toys they are playing with are also getting more fun.
