My 8mos old has had this toy since he was born, he has never been much interested in it. He'll look at it, grab at the flowers hanging from the bottom but quickly loses interest after a few seconds. He can't seem to push the buttons to make the darn thing sing or talk. I must press them down, hard I must say, to make the thing go for a few seconds. Then it's over. So far, this toy has not been a good purchase AT ALL.I see the wonderful reviews it gets, so I'm hoping he'll begin to play with it some month. Maybe when he's over a year, maybe....
