I plan on getting her a matching chair with her sister from Santa, and I think her gift from us with be renewing our children's museum/zoo membership. Otherwise I already pre-ordered Aladdin on Amazon and will probably get a couple other movies and maybe a new toy. She's too young to really "get it" and we have grandparents that will be spoiling too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-on-earth-do-you-get-a-6-month-old-for-christmas#post-2310941 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 14:18:02 +0000 Mommy Finger 2310941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it wasn't for the fact that we have an older child who would wonder why his baby brother didn't get many presents, we probably wouldn't get him anything since DS2 will be so young. We also have most of the above suggestions due to DS1. However, I think I"m going to ask for books and other small toys. We'll also probably wrap some new essentials he'll need for starting solids since it will be around that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-on-earth-do-you-get-a-6-month-old-for-christmas#post-2310775 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 11:24:12 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2310775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought him the Vtech sit to stand walker that people have mentioned and a group of a talking remote, camera and doctor kit </p> <p>I think I'm going to fill his stocking with teething rings since he's becoming such a beaver </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-on-earth-do-you-get-a-6-month-old-for-christmas#post-2310426 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 21:51:06 +0000 ElbieKay 2310426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's ok if you get him something to grow into.

We got her a few blankets, a My Pal Violet, and a nice toy box to put in her room. Other people mostly got her toys that were beyond her age range (most in the 12 month range) so she just grew into them later. My mom got her an activity table that she was able to use sitting down and then standing and that was great too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-on-earth-do-you-get-a-6-month-old-for-christmas#post-2310116 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 09:57:36 +0000 simplyfelicity 2310116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: Hahaha!

Some gifts that went over well were blocks (soft ones that were easy to stack), a bead maze, bath toys (they had just started taking baths in the big tub), and teething toys.

Maybe another wubbanub, some more A&amp;A Swaddles (although we already have 8.. I love the new navy and white ones I saw).I'm going to give family some ideas of things like this instead of them getting him more toys.
