What is this Sophie Giraffe?!

Fast forward 3 months and my little baby is teething already.  Which makes for very long days...
I'm trying everything, wash cloths soaked in water and cooled in the fridge, tylenol, the gel, letting her chew on my fingers, a raz-berry pacificer, teething rings, the list goes on.  Still she cries and chews her own fingers constantly.
At baby group yesterday five out of eight babies had this Sophie Giraffe 'toy'.  Apparently this is the must-have teething accessory and we had missed it!  All the other Moms were in raptures about how the babies love it so much etc but it comes at a cost - $20!!  It looks like a dog toy! 
Seriously!  It even squeaks!
On further investigation I found it easily on Amazon.com and it is the #1 ranked teether. Retailing at $18.20 on good old Amazon which makes it cheaper than Buy Buy Baby at least.
Apparently the rubber has a 'special smell' that allows the babies to find it easily amongst their other toys.  Wow - this Sophie Giraffe is full of tricks ;)
Now all I need to do is convince the husband that we need to make a $20 investment into a small piece of rubber to help the teething quest...
