Christmas already???

Allright you hoverers, you gift shoppers, you.

My family is a plan ahead type. They already have most of the Christmas shopping done (and probably half wrapped.)  My mom already asked me for gift suggestions for Baby Pumpkin.  

Trouble is--he's so little I have no idea what he (we) might want.  My cousin just gave us a hand me down floor/activity mat. 

They definitely want to buy gifts for HIM--an ergo (or ergo fleecy cover Winkor other things from the registry are out. 

I'd love things that could last awhile.  

Any ideas?

 

ETA: Working with the foster care system, we are as confident as we can be that he will be here at Christmas.  Although his permanency is unknown, this is a long-term placement.

    I am really wanting the Land of Nod boxes of wooden blocks. Good for several ages and seem durable.  I have also heard board books are a good first xmas gift.  Also, poeple don't like this....but....we have enjoyed when people buy us 6 month or 12 month things...to stock up fun clothes to look forward to.

    "I talked to Baby Pumpkin, and he said he really, really wants a gift certificate for a massage. I know, weird, right? But that's what he said."

    Leapfrog Learning table. It comes off of the legs to sit on the floor when he isn't able to stand yet - and then once it is on the legs, it is great for new standers.

    Excersaucer - both for him and you. My kids LOVED them and it gave us time to fix dinner. :)

    Thanks for the suggestions.  Pumpkin definitely wants a massage ;)

    I think my family is definitley looking for ideas like exersaucer and activity table.  Generic enough for them to pick something. 

    We won't get him much--but I like the cloth dolls, and my pal scout!  I've never seen that and it's so cute. 

    He has lots of books (not that more aren't always good) and some CDs. He has a CD/mp3 player on his registry... if he doesn't get one for his room by Christmas, Santa might bring one.
