My LO is not too crazy about Sophie either. She just grabs her by her leg for a little while and that's about it. I think they'll like her more when they can bite and squeeze her.
Baby Einstein tunes and bendy ball have good reviews. My LO likes both.
Captain Calamari by Lamaze is the best toy ever. It was Charlie's favorite and Ginny already loves to nom on it and flail him around. He has a hook on his head to hang him from a car seat or whatever, but she just likes to hold him with his arms in her face.
"I wanted you more than you'll ever know, so I sent love to follow wherever you go."
I bought DS an oball rattle on clearance for $2 at target and he loves it! He also likes this little teething bracelet thing that has different textured rubber beads on it. Prob came from Walmart- I got it for a shower. He always has those 2, and he's starting to like chewing on his burp rag, so I usually give him a clean one of those to occupy him, lol. On his car seat handle I have these little sports ball things that Velcro around to dangle in front of him. They may be like wrist rattles or something but he likes to watch them and swat at the in the car. He also has this elephant toy that has one of those linky things on the handle that he can grab and pull to play music. He couldn't care less about his other toys right now.
The manhattan toys whozit. But only of I hold it for him and manipulate it. The Sophie was a tremendous hit with ds1 at about 5 or 6 months. Just wait!

My LO too, basically any Lamaze toy out and burp rags. She can't get enough of them. Yesterday, she was flinging one around in her bouncer and thought it was hilarious.
DD hasn't shown much interest in toys except Baby Einstein musical turtle and Nuby teething keys. I know you can get both at Target. She likes the lights on the turtle when we have tummy time. So far with the keys she just like the key ring, but is starting to show interest in the keys (gel filled?) too.
I recommend the Lamaze toys as well, like the firefly. LO also likes the Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes. Right now she mainly just looks at her toys and has recently started grabbing them. Cloth books are also good.
DD likes the squeaky mushrooms made by the company that makes Sophie and her Snuggle Pod baby. DS likes links and keys. They are mesmerized by the Take-Along-Tunes-style toys.
