She was 9 months old at Christmas. Wins: Vtech Learning Farm Sit to Stand Walker, she loves this (I HATE H.A.T.E. it). Lots of blinky lights, songs ets. She loves to find one button and press it over and over and over.......... I hope the novelty wears off soon. <a href="http://t.toysrus.com/skava/static/product.html?type=TRU_product_us&url=%2Fproduct%2Findex.jsp%3FproductId%3D13148122&domain=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toysrus.com" rel="nofollow">http://t.toysrus.com/skava/static/product.html?type=TRU_product_us&url=%2Fproduct%2Findex.jsp%3FproductId%3D13148122&domain=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toysrus.com</a> Lamaze Fish Bowl Toy- She loves to empty it and crawl around with the critters in her hands. They all make a different noises and she chases them all over the floor. Hasn't grown into yet: The Mouse Small Wheely Bug, I love this, but she doesn't get it yet. <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Prince-Lionheart-7509DC-Wheely-Large/dp/B001GHSFZS" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.ca/Prince-Lionheart-7509DC-Wheely-Large/dp/B001GHSFZS</a> Moover Toy Pram - Sooo cute, well made and I'm sure once she gets brave enough to start walking she'll love it. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Haba-Moover-Dolls-Pram-Red/dp/B0057NG7B6" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Haba-Moover-Dolls-Pram-Red/dp/B0057NG7B6</a> Sweet T on "Post-Holiday Reviews!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-holiday-reviews#post-522875 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:30:02 +0000 Sweet T 522875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DS got the B. Wheeee cars and loves them. He's a little bit older than your LO though. He plays with them daily. My mom got him a workbench and I'm ready to throw it out! The directions were horrible and there are some small pieces that are supposed to stay put but don't. I hate it. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Home-Depot-Carrying-Case-Workbench/dp/B002U8BYV4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_t_3" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Home-Depot-Carrying-Case-Workbench/dp/B002U8BYV4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_t_3</a> heffalump on "Post-Holiday Reviews!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-holiday-reviews#post-522847 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:15:48 +0000 heffalump 522847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm very excited for this thread.... I have 3 birthday parties coming up so lots of presents to buy! I can't even remember what LO got for Chanukah..... it was while ago! I did just buy her a doll stroller that she loves because my mom bought her a doll. But she puts her Violet in it instead of the doll. <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12409827" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12409827</a> She got these Melissa and Doug magnets for the fridge. They're great for keeping her busy when I'm in the kitchen, she likes to move them from the fridge to the dishwasher and into tupperware containers. <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3472360&CAWELAID=327072413&pla=plat&cagpspn=pla" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3472360&CAWELAID=327072413&pla=plat&cagpspn=pla</a> My mom got LO a Gymboree membership. Best gift ever!.

She also really likes the B drum Target sells, she likes noisy things! Honeybee on "Post-Holiday Reviews!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-holiday-reviews#post-522809 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:52:38 +0000 Honeybee 522809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It's been about month since most of our kids received holiday presents, so I thought we might do a review on our favorite/least favorite gifts! Favorites: DD's very favorite gifts this year were her FisherPrice doctor's bag and her Melissa and Doug Cookie Baking set. She plays with both of them every day! <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-N5045-Medical-Kit/dp/B0015AM26E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358980458&sr=8-1&keywords=fisher+price+doctor+kit" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-N5045-Medical-Kit/dp/B0015AM26E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358980458&sr=8-1&keywords=fisher+price+doctor+kit</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Slice-Bake-Cookie/dp/B00146K0I6/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1358980524&sr=1-1&keywords=melissa+and+doug+cookie+set" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Slice-Bake-Cookie/dp/B00146K0I6/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1358980524&sr=1-1&keywords=melissa+and+doug+cookie+set</a> DS really loves this Leapfrog Discovery House, and so does his big sister! <a href="http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-19180-My-Discovery-House/dp/B004MWJLHK/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1358980570&sr=1-1&keywords=leapfrog+house" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-19180-My-Discovery-House/dp/B004MWJLHK/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1358980570&sr=1-1&keywords=leapfrog+house</a> I also got both kids a new Camelbak water bottle and they both love it! I was surprised how quickly DS (10 months) caught on to the bite-valve, and the bottles are durable and easy to clean. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VY01IG/ref=oh_details_o07_s01_i06" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VY01IG/ref=oh_details_o07_s01_i06</a> Least Favorites: These retractable cars came highly mrecommended, and they are very cute and durable. They're just too heavy and difficult to use for young kids, though, so they really haven't been played with much yet. I imagine we'll use these more as the kids get older/stronger (3+?). <a href="http://www.amazon.com/B-68621-Wheeee-ls/dp/B002YITFWK/ref=zg_bs_251947011_12" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/B-68621-Wheeee-ls/dp/B002YITFWK/ref=zg_bs_251947011_12</a> This clock is supposed to help train your toddler to stay in bed until their scheduled wake-up time. Maybe it's just my toddler, but DD gets so excited when she wakes up and sees the light in the middle of the night, she needs to tell us right away. Kinda defeats the purpose when your toddler is calling you to her room at 11, 1, 3, 4:15, and 5:25 to show you the neat stop light on her alarm clock. :/ <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Stoplight-Sleep-Enhancing-Clock-Sports/dp/B002TKLN46/ref=sr_1_3?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1358981138&sr=1-3&keywords=toddler+alarm+clock" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Stoplight-Sleep-Enhancing-Clock-Sports/dp/B002TKLN46/ref=sr_1_3?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1358981138&sr=1-3&keywords=toddler+alarm+clock</a> DD got a couple different types of e-reading devices, and I wish we would have tried them out before returning all of them. We ended up only keeping the Leapfrog TAG reading pen, and I don't really like it. First of all, the pen has a pretty low storage capacity, so you can only upload about 10 books at a time to the device. Secondly, the features (such as word highlighting, pronunciation guides, hotspots, definition hints, etc...) aren't as smooth or intuitive as other e-reading devices. I'm just not impressed with this particular device, and I think there are better versions of this toy out there. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-TAG-Reading-System-Green/dp/B003JQV9LG/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1358981189&sr=1-1&keywords=leapfrog+pen" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-TAG-Reading-System-Green/dp/B003JQV9LG/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1358981189&sr=1-1&keywords=leapfrog+pen</a> What are your reviews?
