My baby loves playing with straps.
She especially loves straps that are firmly connected to heavy objects. The support allows her to tug and pull on the straps as hard as she can.
Arya has now taken to playing with the straps on her baby rocking chair every morning.

Arya recently found a new way to entertain herself. Unfortunately it also involves making a mess.
Baby likes to take apart her alphabet mat. Worse, she also likes to use the pieces as a soft weapon to move other objects.
A few weeks ago she preferred to pick out the end pieces to use as teething toys. Now she goes after the large, square pieces so that she can wave them wildly around.

We’ve had trouble finding a convenient way to store all of Arya’s toys.
Toy boxes, drawers, and even toy bags are too cumbersome to use on a daily basis.
Finally mommy figured out that we should just serve Arya a plate of baby toys.

Arya was lucky enough to get two baby costumes as gifts for Halloween.
Since we planned to have Halloween in Salem, Massachusetts with baby, we needed to keep her warmer costume for the evening of Halloween.
So our baby got to wear her Snow White Baby costume earlier in the day to take cute pictures.

The Baby Einstein Count and Compose Piano is the best children’s toy under $15 I have ever seen.
When I was a kid cheap toys consisted of crudely painted plastic objects with a few moving parts.
The Count and Compose Piano is a complete electronic toy with multiple instruments, different music modes, and counting from one-to-five in three different languages.

When she was younger baby liked to look in the mirror. Now we get to see baby smiling in the mirror.
While Arya still likes looking at herself in the mirror, she has yet to smile at herself.
Rather, our baby smiles in the mirror whenever she sees Mommy or Daddy looking back at her.

Arya has finally found a toy she can use as a security blanket.
Her Baby Winnie the Pooh Comfort Blanket is the ideal combination of a familiar character and a soft blankie.
My daughter doesn’t use it all the time, but when she needs comforting or self-soothing she will consistently use her Winnie the Pooh blanket.

Arya now tolerates her white baby headband.
My baby doesn’t like hats, but she is okay with having a specific type of headband on her head.
The light chiffon headband avoids two problems my baby has with hats: the headband doesn’t block her vision and the headband doesn’t weigh down her head.

Since my daughter learned to grasp a few weeks ago she has been entertaining herself by grasping her toys.
Arya especially loves grabbing her Infantino activity ball. The toy is big with lots of wires, rings, and big caps.
Her hand-eye coordination is still developing so the multiple hand-holds of the ball allow her to always grab onto her toy even when she misses her intended target.
