To keep Jacob always entertained and trying new things, this morning we're trying an experiment in music-making (read that as "noise"). I have two bowls - one metal and one plastic - and a wooden spoon.
I'm about to take him out of his rolling walker and set him on the play mat (which is really just a double-folded comforter, to protect his head when he topples over - he can sit up, just not 100% reliably) and see what happens when I mix a six-month-old infant with some classic noisemaking toys. My guess? He'll chew them all in turn without ever realizing what glorious, cacaphonous sounds he can make from the smashing of them together.
Who says you need to spend money on baby toys?

I'm a dog enthusiast with four of my own. I'm a strong believer in positive reinforcement training, and have nothing nice to say about training methods that believe a dog is trying to be a "pack leader" and needs to be "put in their place."
I'm a writer with a desire to be an author. I work in the YA horror/thriller genre, and enjoy my make-believe worlds almost more than the real one most days - not because my life is awful, but because the worlds are so much fun to be in.
I'm a pretty solid homemaker-type: I love baking, cooking, and am learning how to knit. Since my husband is the quintessential absent-minded professor, I literally keep track of everything, from reminding him to take his lunch to work with him to checking our finances.
I love my life, and am happy to share it with you.
