baby toys

a few nights ago we introduced Baby to toys. She's always content to just sit and watch her sisters play so we've never needed a toy to stimulate or distract her. But just for fun we got out some baby toys. I tried an animal rattle but she wasn't very interested and wouldn't focus on it. Then I held a flower rattle in front of her and watched as her eyes focused on it, she stared and then her face broke into a huge grin. She cooed at the flower and kicked. After a few minutes she even reached for it and clumsily tried to grasp onto it.

today I put her in the high chair so she could sit with us during lunch. I got one of her new toys from Grammy out and put it on her tray. It has wheels on the sides as it's meant to roll on the floor but it rested against the ledge of the tray and Baby could look at the main part of the toy which has three sides. One of these sides is a mirror. When I turned it to that side for her, she fixated on it and cooed to her reflection.
