Fisher Price Peaceful Planets aquarium -- my kids loved theirs (still have in their rooms at 6 and 4).

6 months....I'd get something that is fun for a baby starting to sit up, like a play piano or set of chubby books. Or, if he is teething, some teething toys. Stacking cups?

Something I got for one of my nieces at Christmas time... a baby photo album. The pages are made of that chewy material, and they love looking at pictures of mommy/daddy/grandma/etc. Usually you can find them in the educational/developmental type childrens stores.

Carrie, that's right-- My sister got a baby photo album for us. We put black and white pics of Mom, Dad, aunts and great-grandparents and Rowan had it with him at daycare. What a good idea! Ours had a little mirror on the cover that also made it fun.

I'd also try to find anything that promotes fine motor skills (stacking blocks, toys that have buttons you can push, like a toy piano or phone). At 5-6 months I got the "Hello, It's Elmo" phone book for Rowan-- I just saw it at Borders last week. It has the number pad for calling certain number combos listed on each page. Rowan loved it! He didn't really start using it "as intended" for another year, but he loved hearing the numbers and phone sounds it made. It got a lot more mileage than the regular F-P toy phone.

I am guessing at that age, any "regular" toy would do for the same age. How hearing impaired is he? Cuz maybe if not more than 50%, then some toy with an adjustable volume???

Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium. DD Loved this and she got it at about 6 months old. I think it is about $15.
