When do babies usually become interested in toys. My 2 month old only seems to like her dangly toys like from her bouncy seat, swing and crib. I was just wondering if she should be inerested in rattles and other things yet. Also, what are some of the better and more educational toys that they first play with?
Answer
Every year Oppenheim evaluates infant toys and gives awards for the best 'developmental' toys that engage the baby's senses and encourage different skills (eye tracking, eye-hand coordination, understanding of cause and effect, understanding of object permanence, gross- and fine-motor development etc.) You can see the award winning toys here: http://www.toyportfolio.com/Infants/Index.asp.
Tiny Love has several award winning toys. Their website is also very informative about how each of their toys encourages infant development. http://www.tinylove.com
They have several amazing infant activity gyms. (See link below.) The activity gyms tend to be pricey but you can find them for reasonable prices on Craigslist or Ebay.
Lamaze also makes many award winning toys. (See link below.) Their toys tend to be soft and cuddly with many textures, peek-a-boo flaps, patterns, colors, and sounds to explore.
Have fun watching your little one explore and see her developing right before your eyes. :D

Answer
Congratulations! My baby is almost three months too!
Here's what I do:
breast feed, sing the abc's song and other songs, play classical music, say body parts and point to them (nose, mouth), say "kisses" and give a kiss, point to colors (objects, animals, etc) and say what they are, have baby feel different things (feathers, soft blankets, rock, etc), give lots of cuddling, talk to my baby often, play "peek-a-boo," read to my baby, model being polite (saying "thank you, please," etc) use a play gym, and use other award winning toys that are said to help cognitive development.
Additionally, I make sure that my baby gets enough rest and milk, which is as important as it is simple.
