Since we have hand me down clothes and toys from the older 2, I'm getting her sand filled window blocks, a toy piano and frog in a box. I'm sure all of these things will be enjoyed by each of the kids. I was contemplating making her a plush minky blanket, but I just bought her an A&A dream blanket, so I think that might be overkill. I would love to make her a quiet book, but I know I won't have the time for that.
Convertible car seat is his big gift. He already has a ton of toys pushing toys, activity table etc from his sister. He needs the next size clothes 18 months X_X Which is what we told family. We're not going overboard this year whatsoever. Probably a few more a&a blankets since he's obsessed with them and has to sleep with one at all times I could use a few more in rotation. I want the a&a dream blanket lol
That fisher price elephant stride-n-ride is going to be LO's Santa present. From DH and I probably just some books, clothes, and a little toy or two. We will not be spending more than $100. Not sure if DH & I will be exchanging presents or not but if we do I hope we just set a $50 limit each and call it good.

Zany Zoo thanks to this thread, Fisher Price chair, a few traditional toys from Pottery Barn baby and clothes all from grandparents who have solicited. We will be buying a new car seat (sooner than later), big boys feet are hanging!
So far I bought a little tamborine and maracas as well as Babylit books (Romeo & Juliet and Anna Karenina) and will be buying: Fisher price Elephant Ride-on Sing along books
Grandma is giving her Fisher Price Crawl Around Car and a little playhouse and other grandma said she got her some clothing and a walker and a little bowling set.
DH is in the process of drawing up plans to make that table. I'm also sewing together a kind of sensory bored and have ordered her a canvas tunnel for crawling.
I'm making her a tag toy, blanket/lovey, and doll. She also really needs some clothes and I would like to get her some headbands and clips. Ds wants to buy her a baby doll with the money from his piggy bank (although he would probably play with it more while she is so little
I think we have most everything we're getting for LO for Christmas at this point - we may pick up a few small books, but otherwise we're good:
Zany Zoo
Activity table
Stride 'n Ride Elephant (from my parents - my mom already claimed that one)
Christmas PJ's
Name book
Small phone/remote toy
Anything else he gets from aunts, uncles and grandparents is a bonus. I know his one aunt (my SIL) is going to go overboard on him, but at least part of what she's getting him is clothing since he actually needs that :-)
We know that our LO will be getting a ton of things so my parents will be getting her gymboree and mommy and me classes. I thought that this was a great idea!
mamrotu73 - happen to have the link for the tunnel? I'm searching but not seeing any crazy deals....
Not at all sure what we're getting LO. I like the idea of the tunnel and the Zany Zoo as bigger gifts (from family or us). Those oball cars are pretty cool, and definitely some more books. There's also this "Boppin Bugs" pop up toy Evan loves at his physical therapists that's on the list.
And, of course, I've been buying a ton of clothes, since LO is very much in 12 month sizes now and the weather suddenly turned, so he had almost nothing to wear. Wish I could save some of it for xmas, but he needs it now.

I got on the Zany Zoo bandwagon and it looks pretty awesome in person! We also got her the fisher price bounce and ride elephant and an outfit. Nothing too crazy this year. We opened a college savings account too and asked grandparents to give to that, so far 1 out of 3 has.
Zanyzoo is pretty amazeballs. The vet has one, and we've been spending an inordinate amount of time there lately, so DS has been playing with it a lot.
I want to get him a traditional personalized toy box, some more clothes and books. I'm not worried about toys because I'm sure relatives are gonna get a ton.

I really want the Zany Zoo but I don't want to haul it back from TX. My MIL won't buy it since it doesn't come from TJ Maxx.
