First "toy" we have purchased for eleanor.
We dont know exactly where we read it or heard it, but I think its good for babies to see lots of shapes and different things. Staring at Eggshell white ceilings is probably not doing much for mental and visual development.
We went to Target and looked at the options. Baby einstein, playschool, etc. We decided on the boppy play gym. Why? I think it was the most expensive one on the shelf. honestly. it had some shapes and stuffed toys attached to the rings as you can see. It also comes with a mini boppy pillow that you use to prop the baby up for tummy time, or laying back and staring at the new colors (i think babies see in B&W for a little longer) and shapes. I have to setup the AAA batteries for the sound making part of the toy.
The other part is, we can actually setup the play gym inside the Graco Pack and Play we have.
I highly recommend the pack and play. It starts off with a play yard that kids can stand in when they get older. It also folds down into a carry case which i think we will take on a vacation with us. It also has a pad that can function as the bassinet. Also it has a changing pad option. (we've never used that part) we just put a potty proof pad/cloth under eleanor when we change her and stuff on top of the blanket.
Back to the play gym. It seems nice. eleanor is not grabbing it, or doing pull up or anything on it as of yet. But she scans the items hanging above her, and scans the people in the room.
Baby is sleeping almost 5 hours now. Pretty soon... 8 hours.
Ok friends, i hope you have a good weekend.
