the world's most famous baby teething toy : by jean

meet sophie the giraffe!

Sophie the Giraffe Teether $20 @ amazon.com

but you already knew about her and most likely have one for your baby, right?  what makes this 7 inch natural rubber (phthalates free) so famous??  it stimulates each of the baby's senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell.

i have to say, i was definitely a bit skeptical when my friends insisted i get this giraffe for my unborn child, but these days we don't leave the house withOUT her!  he loves sophie especially now since he's starting to master the grab and put-everything-in-your-mouth stage.  there's something about sophie that makes her so squeezable, lickable and bite-able more than any other "chew" toy.  is it her texture?  her long neck and grab-able head/face?  the rubbery feeling of her skin?  i just don't get it, but she works every time!

amy and i were recently at j.crew when logan was playing with sophie.  we were in the elevator with a man who recognized sophie right away and said "ahh he has soh-FEE!?"  he was clearly French. :)

here's an article from the wall street journal about sophie's journey from France to your home.
read about it here!

  3. it did not work for me. he always grabbed by the legs and when he tries to bite one of the legs, the other leg would poke his eyes. he never figured out how to bite/chew it. it was a waste for me. what a bummer. but glad it worked out for you guys though. so cute!
