A mom in my group had a similar one of these for her baby who loved it! Of course, I was interested, and she said it was from Babies R Us. Well, of course we don’t go there unless we HAVE to (it’s close and convenient, but very small and not a big selection)…so when we were walking through the baby aisles at Target last night (as we do every time we hit Target) and saw this one (it’s a Baby Einstein Bendy Ball)….well, we just put it in the stroller with Owen to see if he would like it—and he played with it the entire time! So, of course, we bought it!
He has many other rattle-type toys meant for grabbing, but this is the first one he has actually grabbed on to and played with. :>> It is very sturdy and actually a little heavier than I anticipated by just looking at it—I was worried it might be too heavy for him to pick up (since we had never really seen him pick up anything before) but he manages with no problems!
