Jude has started standing up (with our support) so it was time to move to a new type of interactive toy. He seemed to be growing bored of the toys he already had, so I put my thinking cap on and decided the perfect toy was something that would encourage him to reach up and press buttons. I found the V-tech First Steps Baby Walker which is a walker, but not one of those hideously dangerous ones that you strap your baby into and then hurl them down a staircase (why those things are bought or sold by anyone is beyond me).
I waited and waited until I found the V-tech baby walker going cheap on Ebay and then I snapped it up. At the moment I think I play with it more than he does. It took me some effort, but I collected a few songs that can be played on the 5-note piano keys. Here they are, numbered and colour-coordinated:
