we're about to get rid of our mobile - LO woke up for the day this morning by standing up in the crib, holding onto the mobile base with one hand and using the other hand to grab at the animals while babbling to them. all very cute, except she's 7 months old and doesn't have great balance so we had to run in and save her before she face planted into the crib bars. she was grinning from ear to ear all proud of herself, but obviously this could be dangerous.

twice in the past week, she has been wide awake in the middle of the night (she'd never ever done this before so i'm hoping this is a short phase). I was looking at the soothers you can attach to the crib, and thought that might be good to lull her back to sleep, but also "fun" enough for when she wakes up before i want to wake up, so she has someone to babble to haha.

SO, does anyone have one they recommend? obviously i want one that can be set to very soft setting (or becomes softer as it goes). Or if you have any other type of crib toy you recommend, i'm all ears!
