How many talking and singing stuffed animals does one child need? Definitely not five. I donated a bunch of the toys and tried to rotate some. I am going to be donating a few more. This year I told family and friends--and I don't care if it seems mean--we live in a tiny apartment and we can't have multiple types of the same toys. If you'd like to buy something for her, please look at the gift list and choose something from there (or something similar to the items on the list) or you run the risk of your gift being donated :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-list-for-lo/page/2#post-1215870 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 13:21:16 +0000 Smurfette 1215870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: So not lame! I will probably wrap up stuff she needs as well, since she won't know the difference. And really I think she is just going to want to eat the paper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-list-for-lo/page/2#post-1215869 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 13:21:05 +0000 pinkcupcake 1215869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: another vote for NO elephant.

And some books. Is that super lame??? :) He will be 9 months at Christmas time.</p> <p>I know my parents and IL's are going to go nuts and buy toys. And they won't listen to me and buy the toys I actually WANT him to have. :( I did create a wishlist on amazon and it included some feeding related things like spoons, and sippy cups, size 12 months pajamas and a few toys like stacking rings and a v-tech walker (based on recommendations here). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-list-for-lo#post-1215862 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 13:16:06 +0000 Smurfette 1215862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: @mediagirl: @mrsjazz: Alright, I am taking it off the list!

My LO doesn't even care about the damn balls, those are all scattered throughout the apartment. But she loves the music and presses it over and over and over and dances to it. It was cute the first 500 times.

I think we're just getting him one thing on the list. And maybe a few stocking stuffers.

The only thing WE bought her was the anywhere chair and that's because I think they are adorable, so it's really for me. Our family just spoils our LO rotten because she's the only grandchild on both sides (for about 24 more hours as my brother's wife is in labor right now!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-list-for-lo#post-1215790 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:50:46 +0000 MamaMoose 1215790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is 11 months.
