Jam-master Jeffrey
My son, Jeffrey is 9 months and has several toys that play music, or count to ten, or otherwise try to educate him. (An aside--thank you to the toymakers who have included volume settings on noise-toys). Jeffrey's at a stage where he's thrilled with trying to pull himself up on things, and uses whatever he can as a prop to get himself more vertical. One of his favorite toys is his "KiddieTrain," an educational toy with letters, numbers, and animal sounds, that turns on automatically when any of the buttons are touched. His favorite thing to do with this toy is to lean on it and spin the train's wheels. The result is that once he places his hand on it to lean, the nice train lady starts talking, except since his entire wobbly weight rests on the same buttons, she keeps trying to tell him that "Thi..Thi...Thi...This is the letter...this is the letter...this is the letter JAY." Sounds like a bad '80's rap.

For the record, I don't think babies are EVER cuter than they are around that 8-9-10 month mark. They're so curious, but they're not fully mobile - usually - and I have so many memories of that sweet time. This post gives me a little twinge of baby fever. :-) So sweet.

The volume knob is a great invention out done only by those noise making toys with an on/off switch.
My aunt and uncle got our boyz a lil' electric piano with a built in drum machine and microphone. We repaid the favor by giving their granddaughter a lil' drum set.
It's all good.

How sweet. Someday I hope my hubby will change his mind about having children.
