parents of 4+mo LOs - Christmas Wish List

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

The grandparents are already bugging us about Christmas gifts!  Clothes are always an option, but I am feeling clueless as to what kinds of toys my girl will want at that point (at Christmas, she'll be 4 mo).  We have a jumperoo, swing, bouncer, bumbo, and activity mat, as well as a ton of stuffed animals and books.

What kinds of toys (or other things) will she need/be interested in, in the 4-9 mo range?  The only things I have thought of so far are teethers (the Sophie, for sure) and a stacking toy.

TIA!

    DS loves anything that lights up.  :)  Recently we got him a shape sorter and for Christmas we will probably get him an activity table. Don't worry, I'm sure Christmas catalogs will be coming out soon!

    what about lovey blankets, taggies has an awesome one as well as angeldear, there are really cushy floor mats for lying on by the brand bestever.  i also would recommend anything she can grip  (like the toy below).   would they get you anything non-fun like baby gates?

    The smaller toys that sit on the floor/in their lap that light up like keyboards, etc..  More rattles and stuff to chew on.  The little toys aren't cheap either and you'll want plenty of those.

    We love getting gift certificates to get pictures done! They can get expensive- especially if they turn out great.. so we asked for certificates to our favorite studio! :)

    i told DH to tell his mother (when she asks) that D would like clothes, books, and wooden toys.  i don't need a ton of cheap plastic crap so i'd like to keep it to a minimum.  Of course, she probably won't ask lol.

     I'm making a wishlist with two sites that sell wooden/European toys.  I'm making a list, because both sets of parents love wishlists, and because as an Aunt I always wanted them for my nephews and my half-sister would never do it.  Plus, this helps them find the nice wooden toys that may be harder to find in person.  I'd much rather have fewer nicer toys than a bunch of junk.  Not to mention that a lot of the plastic stuff is super branded, and I'd rather not push that upon my child before he wants that kind of stuff (I'm not delusional enough to think my little boy will never go through a thomas the tank type period :) ).

    maybe some bath toys?  I've also seen some neat toys that the baby can stand up at and play with...it allows them to hold it for balance as well.

    Do you already have a convertible carseat?  That would be a nice gift for you/DH FOR the baby.  :-)

    My LO will be 6 months on Christmas day...I put on his list:

    Baby Einstein DVD's...since he likes to watch tv so much anyways...may as well be watching something educational. =)

    Clothes (sizes 6-9, 9-12)

    Lots of solid feeding supplies (sippy cups, bowls, spoons)

    Gerber puffs

    Fisher Price Space-Saver High Chair (which an aunt & uncle bought for us - we already have it)

    Dream Blanket

    The wooden wagon is another great site, but it focuses a lot on older wooden figurines.  I'm going to try to slowly build a collection of wooden figurines so when he's at the age that he wants to play with them I have a nice set already.  I can't afford to go out and buy 10-20 of them at once like I could a set of little people. 

    If you google European toys or wooden toys you will get a whole bunch of great sites.
