What did you get.....

Your little one for their first birthday?

I need ideas please!

I know for sure he is getting these...but I need more fabulous one year old finds!


He loooooooooves to draw already. Im serious. Him and Jesiah color with me all the time together!


and im getting him this:


and his Little Giraffe Luxe creme colored blanket to match his crib set:



Okay girls, give me a few more ideas!

I have one othose star things Hailey loves watching the lights light up!!!

My cousin got a chalk board table. It's primary colors with 2 little chairs. She loves it & if he likes to draw he probably would too.

Kidslove those little sets like kitchens & stuff, maybe he would like a playtool bench set.

I bought my children those wooden toys that have the wire and the large wooden beads you manipulate, I think they are called a "roller coaster" (most Dr's offices have them to give you an idea)They have out lasted all the plastic toys I still have them (yes the paint was lead free, they were not made in China) my oldest is 11 and will still sit and spin it a few times now and again and I will have them for my new baby! Also Bamboo toys are great, it is renewable resource and not toxic like some plastics can be.

we totally have one of those!!!
He loves it to pieces!

We are also pretty big on the natural stuff.....so he has alot of the bamboo...and a few other styles of toys like that!

I I am have already gotten Adison a bunch of FP Little People...I really like the farm themed sets. Really cute, and different..since everything is jungle/rainforest theme nowadays.  The big set is between 30 and 40 and you can get smaller sets (like 3 animals and a miniature stable or something similar) for under $10 each.  There is also the fisher price see & say..but you pull a lever now, instead of pullinga  string like when we were kids.

There is the fisher price bounce & spin zebra, OR the bounce & spin pony.  The pony also hooks up to your tv and makes it an interactive tv game w/ different levels..I want to get this for Adison for Christmas or her bday (she is 1 January 21, so they are close and I am just shopping in general and will decide what to give for which occasion later on).  I want the pony for Adison. It's $70 give or take.

Fisher price laugh & learn line...there are a bunch of bigger toys (kitchen, home, chair) and then smaller toys that go w/ the line (piggy bank, learning puppy, learning purse or tool bag).  Can you tell I am into fisher price for kids?  

As far asthe drawing...what about a huuuuuuge roll of paper for the boys to draw on together?  I don't know if you could get one at an art supply store, or if you would have to contact a paper mill direct (my uncle works at a paper mill and always got them for us when we were kids).  


oh yeah...and he needs more clothes! ;-)
eta: "I am have already gotten"= "I have already gotten"...lol....I swear I can read & write in proper English ;-)

I got my son a walking push toy and clothes was going to buy the britax car seat but my dad ended up buying it.. O and I got him lil square things with different fruits vegis ect in them that this push toy "ate" you roll the toy over and they go up in the hippo..

He is still too young for a toy kitchen....or a tool bench.

What table did she get? were the chairs made for little babies to sit in....or were they just normal tiny chairs? (if you know)

When my daughter was one her favorite gifts were her bounce and spin zebra (fisher price) and a ride on red car with sirens and music.

Quoting MaKai will be ONE soon!:“ He is still too young for a toy kitchen....or a tool bench. What table did she get? were the chairs made for little babies to sit in....or were they just normal tiny chairs? (if you know)”

They were just little plastic chairs, she couldn't sit in her's when she got it but she has grown into them now(she's 20mths). But before she could sit in the chairs she still loved to stand & draw with the chalk.

I seen that zebra....but i dont know if he can hold on. he cant walk yet...at all....like, not even close! lol no balance!!!

I PROMISED Carl I would buy ZERO clothes! hahahahahahaha!


My mom is getting him this:

Her car was similar to this:

Maybe since he isn't walking he would enjoy a car that you can push him in:

He has the hippo!!!! Its so cool huh!!!

But he isnt quite ready yet. We keep trying, but he shows zero interest in walking yet!
