Connor loves to play! He plays with the toys we've bought him, he loves his touch & feel books and he can't get enough balls to roll around and throw (in fact he's just learned to roll the ball with someone - thanks for the lesson Grammy!!). But, what has amazed me is how he will turn anything into a toy. The door stopper - he loves! The baby gate - an absolute hit! The dog bowls, cabinet doors, stairs, mirrors....he just loves to play, climb, cruise and push. I'm amazed at his creativity!
We've created a few homemade toys around the house, and he loves them. Feel free to steal these ideas for your little one, too!

| Suck the air out of a water bottle. Connor loves the sound the bottle makes when he squeezes it! |
 |
| Insert a pacifier into a small Rubbermaid container. Homemade shaker. This idea is from my brilliant MIL. |
 |
| Mardi Gras beads into an empty egg carton. Another great shaker, and another great idea from my MIL. |

This isn't homemade (obviously) but I had to share. This is the ball that finally convinced Connor to start crawling at 7-8 months. He would chase it all around the room. I purchased it on a sort of whim from Target.
Just wanted to share a little fun from our corner of the world. We are having a blast with our 11 month old!
