[quote=Anonymous]My eight month old has basically not gotten any new toys since he was born - he's got rattles, and teethers, and some of those cloth books that crinkle, plus one of those little stacking towers, but all pretty basic. He needs some new stuff.

He's a very strong sitter (sitting independently since 6 months) and can actually hold all his own weight on his feet and stand independently for a minute or so at a time leaning on a foot rest. We think he'll be an early walker. But he hates being on his tummy, and has made no progress on pushing up to all fours or anything - I think he might be one of those kids who never crawls and just goes right to walking. Pretty solid fine motor skills.

Suggestions? I'm interested in some things he can hold and play with while sitting, and then maybe something that would help him with his gross motor movement - he LOVES practicing standing, but there's a limit to how many minutes a day we can help him! Maybe something like a jumper or an activity center? I've heard those aren't great for kids development though. Thoughts?[/quote]
