Hellobee Boards

We got her a toy box with her name on it, My Pal Violet, a winkle, and some new A+A blankets (I couldn't resist their new jewel colors). Also, we got a nice ornament for her.

We wanted something that would last a while (the toy box) and a couple of small presents. She's only 5 months plus we know her grandparents probably went overboard (another reason for the toy box).

We did the want/need/wear/read thing so we got him:

-uppababy snack tray
-fabric book with pics of grandparents inserted
-bamboo nose wipes
-moccasins
-Sandra Boynton books

I think everything came to <$100!

Nothing. We are going to wait and see what everyone else gets her and then if there's any toys we really want her to have, we'll buy them after Christmas.

Some Babylegs! I am going to buy her a Kidkraft kitchen but I will probably wait until we are in our house...we have too much stuff here!

Wow I'm embarrassed to say everything we got LO:
Tons of books
A few DVD's
Snuggamonkey soother
elephant ball popper
play phone
trainer sippy cups
pajamas
first toothbrush
6 pairs of babylegs
walk behind toy
xylophone
B-Drum set with instruments
First baby doll
Weebles slide toy
Lion crawl toy
A wooden animal puzzle
Giggle monster plush toy
Probably a few other things but I'm embarrassed to continue. It all came in at about $175 though, I got a lot of great deals.

She will need a toy box after all of this

Daisy Sorter
Kaliedo Gears
Brave DVD
Plastic nesting cups from Ikea

The Daisy Sorter and Kaliedo Gears didn't arrive in time Because of it, I'll save the Kaliedo Gears for either this coming birthday or next! The only thing I have is the stacker from Ikea that I put away as a stocking stuffer and the Brave DVD we plan to watch tomorrow!

I might wrap the wooden stacking rings (also from Ikea) that I already opened so she has something to unwrap at home when we get back from the in-laws. She hasn't played with it yet, so I figure it kinda counts?

So her 1st Christmas gifts from us are:

Plastic stacker from Ikea 19:- ($3)
Wooden stacking rings from Ikea 59:- ($9)

We got a lot:
- Burberry Onepiece
- Burberry TrackSuit
- Ralph Lauren Outfit
- 3 pair of Puma Shoes
- Elephant & Piggy books (3)
- 6 other books
- Radio Flyer
- Large stuffed bear
- And lots of fisher price toys...

I don't want to say how much we spent because it was obscene..

Those sound like such awesome toys!

He got
-rugged bear moccasins
- a book with truck and train sounds
- a Christmas story board book
- set of signing time DVDs

We weren't planning on anything this year but I couldn't help myself and found some awesome deals

Some clothes because she doesn't have much in the 6-12 month range.
A laugh and learn table used from craigslist
A FP remote control.

I know my mom went a little overboard so, we didn't have to.

His "big gift" was a Build-a-Bear in a Pittsburgh Pirates uniform. I paid an extra $10 or $12 to get our last name embroidered on the back. I also got him a few small teething toys to put in his stocking, and an Angel Dear blanket that I've already given him.

We also got him a personalized stocking (from West Elm) and ornament (from etsy).

I think that's it. We didn't spend a lot. Oh, and a book to DH from him.

I got him a bumbo and a winkle. He's 9 weeks old, so he'll probably sleep through present opening
