The Gifted Baby: Six Month Old
Babies may like the wrapping paper better than the present, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't put thought into their gifts. Six-month-olds are really beginning to explore their surroundings so it is a great time to introduce them to toys that stimulate their senses.
- Whether the tot needs a distraction in his high chair or if he just likes moving things around, the Double Bubble Suction Cup Maze will keep him entertained while developing his hand and eye coordination.
- Leapfrog's Baby Tad helps introduce the alphabet to lil ones and is easy for them to use.
Simple or Swank: Rockers
Preparing for baby number two has got me nesting and reconfiguring nurseries and bedrooms. Not wanting to spend a huge amount on another glider, I started searching for a comfortable yet modern rocker for my toddler's bedroom. If I had the extra money, I might splurge on the sassy brown swank chair, as the padded arms look quite comfy.
Guess the Object
This polka dotted object has a purpose that serves to tidy up an already clean area. Can you guess what it is?
Pimp Your Crib: Bunny Ends
My daughter has accumulated quite a little library of books for such a small person. Her bookcase cannot squeeze one more Sandra Boynton book onto its shelves. As I have started to use other spaces in her room, I quickly realized I needed something to keep the books in place.
Last Call For Gifts!
Snap out of it Mama! Santa Claus is on his way! Rather than rushing around like a mad woman for those last minute gifts, fill your stockings and stuff some envelopes with a treat that everyone can use – gift cards!
Ecotot: Beans
If you've got kids that love playing trucks, these streamline designed "beans" will keep them safely occupied for hours. Made of sustainably harvested Vermont maple wood and lead-free paint, these non-toxic, Eco-friendly toys literally buy parents a piece of mind. The Big Bean Fire Engine($28), Lil Bean Taxi ($24), and Big Bean School Bus ($28) are ergonomically constructed to be handled by small hands.
Simple or Swank: Highchairs
With so many highchairs out there in babyland, it's hard to choose one. The chic minimalist design seems to be quite popular these days. And, while highchair makers have taken note, the price tags on some of these bad boys run upwards of $400.

Marcia Cross Gives Thanks Early This Year
Known as the buttoned-up and tightly wound kitchen queen on Desperate Housewives, Marcia Cross appears to be quite the opposite when seen about town toting her two tots to the local playground for a swing in the park or a roll in the grass. Though the multitasking mum certainly has her hands full and plenty of mouths to feed in her own home, the drama mama took time out of her Sunday afternoon to dish on motherhood, balancing a career, her fortunate life and how she gives back to the community.
How do you teach your children about giving back?
What Do You Do to Make Your Tot LOL?
Mamas will do just about anything to get a good giggle out of their lil one. When the standard laugh inducing gestures don't earn as much as a smile, jumping up and down, tearing newspaper, and singing "Jingle Bells" in August might just do the trick. The mother in the clip above said she hopped around the kitchen like a rabbit, sending her young lad into hysterics.
Love Your Leading Tot in Full Uniform Costumes
There's something about a man, er child, in a uniform. If mama thinks she loves fleet week for the handsome sailors, imagine her reaction when she dresses her babe up in the pressed navy gear. If her lad prefers land over sea, mommy can check out the fireman and sheriff attire for a different line of duty.
