Your babe's gone from a little bean to a crawling, smiling, laughing little person in the last year. Here, 12 goodies that experts tell us are developmentally right on and that we think are cool enough to be loved by both parents and kids alike.

Push It

Gift: Push Toy
Why she'll love it: A push toy helps unsteady new walkers feel a little more stable.
Why experts love it: "A push toy allows the child to see some of the benefits of walking without the risks," says pediatric physical therapist Vickie Dakin, president of Magical Innovations, a company that creates therapeutic products for preemies.
Our pick: We love this push cart's clean, modern, this-would-look-gorgeous-in-my-living-room lines, and -- bonus! -- it doubles as toy storage.
