Mine is big and clunky, not cute, and is at least an inch higher than that, probably more.<\/p>\n<p>I have to sit on it for a bit and decide if I&#8217;m going to remake it with size 1s or 2s, or make some other type of rattle for him.  I&#8217;ve already mentally committed to and started another toy for him, too, but it&#8217;ll be bigger.  Plus it&#8217;s made of acrylic yarn, not so good for chewing on.  The rattle should be something he can hold pretty soon and enjoy.  <\/p>\n<p>By the time I have 2 minutes to myself on Monday evening I should be able to make that decision.  All I know now is that I&#8217;m not sending this toy along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So far I&#8217;ve made 7 toys for Christmas.
