One With The Giraffes


Dubbed the “World’s Most Famous Teething Toy,” I just knew I had to give Sophie The Giraffe a try once Shelby’s little slobber machine got started. And oh has it ever. One of my clients, Kidville, sells it in their retail space and they can hardly keep it on the shelf.







I was shopping at Sam’s this weekend, saw it, and bought it on the spot.

There is not much to Sophie.  It is a simple rubber toy that admittedly sounds a little like a dog toy when squeezed.  It is known for being good for all the sense and is more than 50 years old…..earning the acceptance of some of the world’s toughest critics: Moms and Babies. I purchased a twin-pack with one rubber version and one plush version.

Well,  I guess we can add Shelby to the list of more than 30 million babies who love their Sophie(s). She took to them right away. I promise it wasn’t planned, but the same day I brought them home, I put her giraffe-themed jammies on.

Net result: adorable photos....

  1. too cute! the only downsides to Sophie is that she 1. gets lost easily 2. stains easily and 3. hard to clean with the hole in her. We ended up getting a Sophie leash and still had to buy 2... also, dropped in a parking lot ONCE and got some dirt, maybe tire scuffs, and could never ever get them off. BOO. But we still love her... :-)
