Congratulations on your new baby!

Don't worry about toys yet! At two months the best way to stimulate her is to talk and sing to her, listen to music, let her look at and feel things with different textures (blankets, your face, etc.) You can buy fancy toys but she is unlikely to even be interested in them. My kids were fascinated with the ceiling fan and watching me walk around and do housework. I brought the bouncy chair into whatever room I was in so we could interact. You sound like a great mom since you are concerned about getting her the best, but the best for kids is love and attention, not stuff! I did a quick search and came up with a page of "homemade toy" suggestions for when she's older. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now]

Good luck!

I agree with everything sdlee said. What a wonderful post. I have had very good luck finding nice educational toys at T.J. Maxx and Marshall's. Music is so important. I sing a special song to my baby Susan and whenever she gets cranky I just sing that to her and she calms down (at least for a minute LOL).

Thanks everyone for you support and help!!! I have no family here for support and basic baby knowledge so any help is great. Thanks again!!
