DS has the Dino Poppity Pop toy, and he freakin' loves the balls. Like super (heart) (heart) the balls, so I thought I would seek out more toys that have balls or shapes he can pick up and move around.
We also got this one for Xmas for DD3 (it was on woot a few months ago...). I can't say how it is yet but thought I'd throw it out there. Gets good amazon reviews.

We got this when DS was around 8 months old and he still plays with it now (almost 17 months). We would assist him to stand there before he could do it himself or you can take all of the legs off so it sits on the floor (annoying to keep retrieving the balls that way though) :
We also have two sets of balls like these that have been a hit with him for a long time (ours just have the clear balls with various stuff inside, not the solid colored ones):
L is obsessed with balls too. i just buy her balls. she also has a toy by hape where you hammer the ball through and it slides down a xylophone. she takes it apart and hits the xylophone with the ball.
i also bought her little Einstein balls that have various objects inside and she loves to shake them.
The balls have rattles inside, and my girls loved to bang the balls into each other and make rattle sounds. The soft stacking hoops part weren't of much interest, but the rest of the toy was one of DD1's favorites for a long time.
