We are swimming in toys around here and LB does have some favorites but some of the best "toys" to entertain baby are not F.isher P.rice! Enter...in no particular order...
1. The remote- Loves this gadget so much that we pulled one that doesn't work out of a drawer and stuck it in the diaper bag. I know it probably looks funny at church when we use it for a distraction, but it provides several minutes of serious play time.
2. Our watches- It used to take the entire diaper change for LB to pull off my favorite N.ike watch but now he's got it down to 0.2 seconds flat. He pulls it off, looks up to see my reaction and then throws it in the floor every. single. diaper. change. Dad's is not quite as fun as it latches but any watch is still a point of interest.
3. The iRoomba- I would like to know what he's thinking when this thing spins around the room. He likes this from a distance... when it enters his personal space, he's not so sure.
4. The paper towel holder- LB is not really into waiting patiently for me or dad to fix a bottle so he enjoys giving the paper towels a spin in the mean time!
5. Feet/Toes- Good for holding, sucking, grasping... when there is nothing else around, the feet will just have to do!
6. Hair pulling- namely, mine. No picture because I am too busy untangling and explaining why that's not supposed to be fun!
Honorable mentions- paper bags, hats, eye glasses, spoons, light switches, cell phones, computers, straps/tags, napkins, mirrors, wallets and lotion bottles!
HO HO HO-LY SALE, SANTA!

Emily loves the remote too! I have to know if the iroomba works well- I can't keep up with the animal hair in my house!
Sounds as if he shares many favourites with Alidia. She especially loves the remote and our watches!! Why waste money on real baby toes when we have so many great ones laying around the house?! ;)
Remotes and watches - CHECK!! That and my phone. UGH.
Oh yes, there are lots of cheap entertainment out there! Love how kids can play with anything!!!
Great idea to pull out an old remote! Chloe always grabs ours and changes the channel. The phone is her next favorite, and I did pull an old phone out but I think she knew and wasn't interested, that stinker! I think I've decided not to buy Chloe anything for her birthday and let her just play with the wrapping paper and boxes. That will probably provide much more entertainment than any gift! :)
Mine likes my purse strap, necklace, glasses, hair, tank top strap, pot lids, my hands and blankets of all kinds!
Remote and phone are the favorites around here -oh!! and paper!
Yes...remotes and phones are a favorite here as well. She also loves socks! Who knew?
go figure, right, lol! I think I would be fascinated by the iroomba!
