http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5984712 These should be added to the list... just adorable and perfect teethers.

The stacking rainbows were a great pick, we've used ours as a decoration for baby when young, stacker for newly exploring baby, tunnels for trains / caves for pretend play as tots and now launches and captures for pieced together marble runs with our 4yo... and I know I will always just love having it on a bookshelf to look at myself when the boys are past playing with it.

Sophie the giraffe! Every baby needs one! Babies love to crew on her horns and grab onto her legs. Babies in France have loved her forever.
