I have to look up "jumparoo and exersaucers", haven't heard of these. Those and the Scout seem popular. I'm seriously writing everyone's suggestions , they're all great. :)</p> <p>@sslm: no, I don't have a high chair- good idea!<br /> @lawbee11: omg! These chairs are adorable. Definitely on the list<br /> @Pink Champagne: I was debating that and think I will suggest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-laws-want-xmas-list-for-lo-need-ideas#post-1094317 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:04:56 +0000 Pink Champagne 1094317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Money for college.</p> <p>Seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-laws-want-xmas-list-for-lo-need-ideas#post-1094259 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:49:31 +0000 lemondrop 1094259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: My IL's are getting C the next step up Scout for Christmas- Read with me Scout/Violet. We found it at Toys R Us the other day while looking for ideas. C loved it and didn't want to put it down! It has even more buttons, has sleepy time (our most used feature) and of course reads with the kiddo. That way we can give the old Scout to little sibling later on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-laws-want-xmas-list-for-lo-need-ideas#post-1094158 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:07:03 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1094158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: I second the Leap Frog Scout/Violet toy. DD got one for Christmas last year and she loved it. Also, think about the things your LO might need between now and a year from now (or even until her birthday). Bath toys, push/walk behind toys, shape sorters.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-laws-want-xmas-list-for-lo-need-ideas#post-1094106 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:42:51 +0000 blackbird 1094106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The jumperoo is AWESOME.

And maybe some cute bibs from Etsy and other stuff for when we start solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-laws-want-xmas-list-for-lo-need-ideas#post-1094071 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:19:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1094071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with thinking about some walk/ride toys and even maybe a reading chair. Think about what she may like in the next few months when sitting, pulling up, etc. They change SO fast at this age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-laws-want-xmas-list-for-lo-need-ideas#post-1094032 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:03:01 +0000 sslm 1094032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jumperoo for sure! Madeline is 5 months and it's been a lifesaver.</p> <p>How about some stuff to prepare to feed solids? We are just starting to buy that stuff now. I suppose that's not a "fun" gift, but it's very practical!</p> <p>Toys for 6m+. We have nothing so we've been trying to accumulate things. I don't have any specific ideas haha, sorry!</p> <p>Do you already have a high chair?</p> <p>What about a snow suit of some kind? Robeez winter boots? Fleece sleepers?</p> <p>Just trying to come up with some stuff that hasn't been said :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-laws-want-xmas-list-for-lo-need-ideas#post-1094022 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 06:55:40 +0000 Smurfette 1094022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exersaucer<br /> Jumperoo<br /> Music table<br /> Toys 6 months+<br /> Books<br /> Walker (won't need then but you could by 9 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-laws-want-xmas-list-for-lo-need-ideas#post-1093969 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 06:04:35 +0000 swedishfish 1093969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD will be 6 months old on Christmas and I'm asking for a walker and books.

She loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-laws-want-xmas-list-for-lo-need-ideas#post-1093895 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 01:39:16 +0000 sunny 1093895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a few toys like sensory balls or kick piano? My LO loved those at that age. Or if you want to plan for a few months down the line, shape sorter, xylophone and blocks are popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-laws-want-xmas-list-for-lo-need-ideas#post-1093894 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 01:37:36 +0000 lemondrop 1093894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Think of the things you will be starting to do soon or that she can grow into- maybe starting solids, so if you don't have them, a highchair, plates, bowls, spoons, sippy cups, etc. </p> <p>Do you have a bumbo, jumparoo or exersaucer? </p> <p>More advanced toys- stacker toys, sorting toys, balls, piano/keyboard toys. </p> <p>We got a Leapfrog Scout for Christmas, it was fantastic for around the 10 month mark in getting him to go to bed with less drama. </p> <p>Just a few ideas of things we've used in the 6-12 month range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-laws-want-xmas-list-for-lo-need-ideas#post-1093893 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 01:25:49 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1093893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL/SIL requested I send a list over asap of Xmas gift ideas for LO. I am so bad at coming up with wish lists! A few ideas I have are: pajama gowns, Spanish word book, amazon gift card, some outfits. She will be about 5 months in December. What would YOU wish for a 5 month old girl? </p>
