Did you buy age appropriate items, stuff that DC can grow into or did you not even care?
I bought stocking stuff that DC can grow into...like Dora Plate, Cup and Bowl! I looked at the toys first to see if they would hold her interest and then I looked at the age. I also bought her lots of books!
Re: Gifts for DC poll question
DD is 10 months, so I tried to get her things she could use now but that would be good for a while. The only thing I bought her that is a little older is a wooden puzzle (1 year +). I figure she can take the pieces out now and grow into it. My brother is getting her a 1 year + paino, but she likes the baby one she has so that will be great. It'll actually be nice for me, sine DD flips the baby piano over and gets shove her fingers into the screw holes. I was happy to put the baby one away today - in a few days she'll be able to play again without me needing to worry!
