We don't often have children in the apartment, but when we do I like to leave something appropriate for them. I know some of you do too.
I've bought in a bucket and spade set for a three year old who is coming, but I'm a bit stumped regarding a six month old baby. It's a long time since I had mine! Any ideas?
Ju will know best as her baby must be a little over that age at the moment! I seem to remember that they like pushing buttons on things to make different noises.
Something to chew! It is just the age they start to get their first teeth so they chew anything. You can get teething rings which look like toy keys, they rattle and you can chew them. They are not expensive and you should be able to pick something up at the supermarket.
My little one is now seven and a half months, and I think she will be crawling very soon - oh help!
My first was crawling at 5 months, but that is unusual. As you say he should be able to sit without doing that really entertaining thing of wobbling over to one side. (used to keep me amused for hours).
6 months is a good age to take a baby on holiday, then you shouldn't take them again for another few years, unless you don't like sitting down!!
BW...Mercadona do nice little baby rattles/teethers at reasonable prices too! I buy them as a little pressie for our little guests. I normally leave it on the high chair tray for them.

Hi Pussie - you always talk sense - let me ask you, we have a 7 month old staying in about 10 days time - do you find it pays dividends in terms of parental appreciation to leave a small gift of that type?

I think so Mols...those sort of things don't cost alot and it's just the little ''thoughtful extras' that can be the deciding factor to make them want to book again!
