Question for moms

I am wondering if any of you have suggestions for 1st bday gifts? I am having a hard time deciding what to get Ella. She aready has a wagon and some push/ride toys and an activity table. I will probably put some money in her savings acct. I was just wondering if anyone could suggest something their kids really likes at about a year. It would need to be more for inside since her bday isn't til October.

Re: Question for moms

  • We got Davis an Pottery Barn Kids Oversized Anywhere Chair.   We figured everyone else would get him toys and that is something he used right away and can use until he is 5 or 6.  
    Booze, it's what's for dinner imageBaby Birthday Ticker Ticker Birth - 7 lbs. 7 oz., 20 inches 1 Month - 9 lbs., 5 oz, 21 inches 2 Months - 11 lbs., 4.5 oz, 23 inches 4 Months - 14 lbs, 1 oz, 26.5 inches 6 months - 16 lbs, 1 oz, 28.75 inches 9 months - 18 lbs, 6 oz, 29.25 inches 1 Year - 21 lbs, 6 oz, 31 inches 2 Years - 28 lbs., 37 inches
  • We also got Sloane a kids oversized chair from potterybarn.  She loves it still.  How about dolls?  Toys R Us sells a Graco set for baby dolls that has a pack n play, bouncing seat, etc.  Cardboard books?!!!

    I noticed a big change in Sloane at about 18 months.  We got lucky and that fell around Christmas so she got from various relatives a kitchen, table/chairs, a kids piano, toy guitar, crayons/coloring books, cash register, big piece puzzles, lawn mower that blows bubbles.........think ahead and just store it until it's time?! 

  • Little People sets!! Addie played with her sets all the time at that age. Leap frog fridge sets are good too.

    OMG I have a huge box of those in the garage! I didn't even think to get them out. My sister gave us SO much stuff last spring because she moved to Arizona. That is where the wagon came from, and she gave us one of the little tykes basketball hoops and a tricycle.

    I like the chair idea I will keep that in mind, though I don't really know where we would put it. I think I am telling Chase that for Ellas birthday she wants a bigger house. That's not unreasonable, right?

    She doesn't really have any bathtub toys, maybe I will get her some bath stuff... I wanted to get her a little swing but I don't really have anywhere to hang it. I really am hoping to move before too long so I don't really want to buy a swing set just yet.

    I know I said inside, but what about a cozy coupe? Would she be the right age for something like that next summer? Even if we didn't get it for her birthday it's something to keep in mind for Christmas, I guess.

  • I bought Monk a lot of straw cups and utensils and things like that too....he was more excited about opening them and not so much about what it was....he needed those things anyway, and a few outfits. We bought practical things and then I did my moms shopping for his birthday and splurged on the child rocker chair and a big gate for our dining room. He got lots of toys and stuff from everyone else. I wanted to get practical things too.

  • I'm sure you can find this cheaper, but I liked all the pictures it shows. Skyler got this for her first birthday and she has always loved it. Charli loved it too, and pretty soon here I'll be getting it out for Kenleigh. We also have the barn, but I like the house better.
