When dd was little a relative bought her some toys from Lamazefor Christmas which seemed to go down well.

Dd was a bit older at 8/9 months though

My ds was 4 months last christmas. I love v-tech stuff, find them to be really good. We bought a singing cow thing, when you press buttons it says 1, 2, 3, and covers colours and things too.
$ months is still young to 'play' but I'd def get into woolies or somewhere and look at the v-tech.

Forgot to say the mirror was a huge hit, but dd also liked the clutch cube and the house toy

thank you I'd seen the lamaze things - they look so cute! and will have a look for Vtech - brilliant.

i got this for my niece last year who was 3 months which went down well - as just about starting to spend time on their tummies.

what about foot finders/wrist rattles?
maracas?
rainmaker? (thing with beads in which makes a noise as they tumble down)

some other nice ideas here

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]
For a sceptical face,

, type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
