You had a post up a while back about collecting certain toys that were good for stimulation and development. I cannot, for the life of me, find the post, but I am trying to get some basics for my LO. I think you mentioned blocks?
I highly recommend a lion that plays music, it also comes in a panda. My DS is fascinated by it. I saw others in the post recommend it. I bought ours at target for dd, but they still sell it.
