How fun!!! I want to come play! 😊 In another year you will probably want to add a train table...hours of enjoyment for toddlers and preschoolers.

He is an adorable baby, love that blond hair.

he is sooooooo cute!

I did a 1x4 ikea kallax laid out like a bench with cute bins from skip hop to hold stuff. It worked out even better than I planned because Em loves climbing on it, jumping off of it, sitting on it to look at the window, it’s the perfect height for him.

a round pouf would be a nice footrest slash cruising aid for him.

Trying to think of the six months to a year baby stuff that Emmett really enjoyed, a jolly jumper that attached to the doorway, an exersaucer “circle of neglect”, infantino texture balls, indestructibles books, vtech sit to stand walker which I see you have, baby Einstein music table. There’s a fisher price car that has been a huge hit over time - laugh and learn crawl around car. Fisher price popper and lawnmower big hits as he started to walk more.

Thanks!

Oakley we do rotate out the toys. There isn't that much in there -- the pianos, robot, turtle and then the permanent stuff that stays like the tunnel and walker.

nini A train table is definitely on my list, along w/ a water table.

Thanks robo! I already ordered the texture balls and am looking at the Ikea stuff and music table :)

Lucky little boy with a room dedicated to toys! He’s darling and looks so happy.

You will soon want to push the two sofas together so that their corners touch, so that he doesn’t crawl into the corner and pull down the lamp. Or, remove the lamp.

Our younger, really active baby had this Activity Garden. It didn’t have all the bells and whistles the newer ones have, but it was good for him because it let him focus. His favorite thing was just to open the gate, walk through, close the gate, check the mail, open the gate, walk back, close the gate. We got it from a rummage sale, and when he was finally ready to part with it we eased the pain by giving it to the church nursery, where he could show the babies how to use it lol. He’s 20 and that activity garden is still a favorite in the nursery! (Because it doesn’t have too many books and crannies, it is easy to keep clean.)

edited to add, we got a train table that was a nice, stained and sealed wood, instead of a highly-kid-centric design. The Isle or Sodor-design top could be wrapped in wrapping paper for a change of pace. It stayed set up for years, transitioning to Lego, board games, puzzles, by day, and coffee table by night, because it matched the family room decor.

What a great play space for a precious child! Looks great

Looks like a fun, open space to me, just perfect for an active, soon-to-be toddler.

I have a great-nephew who is almost the same age as Bastian, so I'm keeping up with the progress of both of these adorable little boys. Time needs to just stop, they are so precious at this age.

Fun! What a lovely baby. You are all so fortunate. Good job!

bpath we have a newer version of that activity garden, looks almost the same but has a little bit more stuff! He hasn't gotten into opening the mail box yet, he likes to swing on the arch over the slide and climb on the telescope on the front of it.

That's a good idea about the lamp. He pulls himself up onto the couches and uses them to walk from one end of the couch to the other. The problem is, he doesn't seem to understand he needs to hold onto the couch to walk so when he gets to the table, he spins and lets go to get to the other couch and someone has to be there to catch him. Maybe I can replace take Robo's idea of a poof type thing and put it in that corner so he can fully cruise around the room without that gap.

THat's a helpful tip about the train table too.

Thanks to the others for the comments too :) And OutsidePlaying, they grow up SO FAST, don't they! It's scary how quickly time has gone!

The train table is a great suggestion. We got one for our daughter before she was one as she liked to stand and play with toys. She didn't get the actual train stuff that came with it until a few years later. It served as our coffee table for a a few years until we made the dining room into a play area which was larger than the breakfast area we originally used.

It looks great and I think switching things around including the furniture will be fun for him too.

What a fun space and a beautiful baby who looks pretty grown up in the last shot! Kitchen set toys are fun and grow with kids nicely too.

Thanks for the updated photos! He's a doll. I think as he uses the room, he will tell you what works for him and what doesn't. You have your in-house focus group of one. Personally, I do like less toys. Not sure if that is because of concern about sensory overload for them (as bpath mentioned), or if it was more selfish. I don't think I could spend long in a room with so much color and pattern!

Oh my, he is adorable!! I love his little vest, and the room looks so fun!

The room is nice......the baby is A D O R A B L E !!
