Are you searching the baby-toy sections to find the best toys for that 6-month-old in your life? While they probably won't understand what to do with their stocking stuffers this year (they'll probably just try to use the fabric for teething!), there are certainly plenty of gifts you can get them that will help with all the developmental stages they'll soon encounter. Whether they're learning to crawl, trying to understand how to use their fingers to grab things, or just can't stop teething, here are the best gifts to get 6-month-olds.
