The penguin toy you mentioned that Madeleine likes.....is it a blow up thing with balls in it's belly and plays music? If so, Sophia got the same thing from my parents. We tried it out a little when we were up at my parents and it didn't hold her attention very long. I'm hoping the next time we try it, she'll enjoy it more!
Yep, that's the one. She can't really do it yet on her own, but I think she likes it b/c Eloise whacks the heck out of it for her, which really keeps her attention.

Addy has that penguin. She began to really like it when she was sitting. She'd grab onto it's nose and whip him around!!!
