If you are making a big deal over LO's 1st Birthday...

What are you getting them from you and H/SO? For Christmas I feel like Kevin's grandparents got him all of the BIG things so for his birthday I want his BIG birthday gift to come from Mommy and Daddy.

Also, I just ordered his invites on Sunday and his custom b-day t-shirt today. Holler!

Eli's stuff should be here next week. Crying

I have no clue what we are getting him. There were a couple toy things that he didn't get for Christmas that I might look at, but I feel like he already got so many toys.

We got her the Little People's Zoo and some additional animals for it. I know it's 18+, but I figure she got so many toys for Christmas, it will be nice busting out a new toy this summer. We also got her a basketball hoop that light up that she can play with sitting down (don't remember the brand). She's also getting a bead maze.

My ILs are getting her some clothes. And from my parents we are asking for FLOR tiles for her room. Her nursery is hardwood floors, and I never got around to picking out a rug.

What about getting some summer toys ? my parents got her a Radio Flyer wagon for Christmas, which I'm summer excited about. Or you could do a playset with a slide, a swing, Cozy Coupe, etc.

I just ordered his invites and T-shirt today too! Honestly the party is my gift to him. He'll be getting 10 million presents from everyone else. I don't see the need anything.

I'm so excited to start seeing all the birthday party photos.

I started spazzing out this morning when I realized her birthday party is next Sunday. I haven't even finished putting Christmas stuff away yet!

I think we're going to get her some outside play toys like a cozy coupe or slide. I may also get her some FP Little People toys because she really likes those. She got a red wagon for Christmas and absolutely loves it, so I would definitely recommend one of those!

This pretty much. I ordered the stuff yesterday. We are giving him the party. He just got spoiled at christmas (we had to check an extra bag to get all his gifts home) he won't miss it if mommy and daddy don't get him something for his birthday.

Well, honestly...between the party, the new car seat we will need soon and the crib conversion kit we have spent/will be spending close to $800 on her in the next month so I'm going to say that is her present!

DS got tons of toys for Christmas, so I think for his first birthday we are going the sentimental route. I found a website that bronzes first walking shoes pacifiers. DS is a total paci addict, so I think we will bronze a paci. It comes on a little marble square and has a plaque with the name and such. Seems kind of silly, but I think it will be cute to have forever. Our other idea is to get a stuffed animal made out of some of his favorite outfits from his first year. Darn Pinterest for giving me too many ideas!

I love the stuffed animal idea! Link?

I think I want to get her some sort of riding toy. And another little people set. She loves her bus and princess castle.

I might have to do this. My son is the King of Pacis. I counted we have TEN! I think it'll be cute!

I'm getting DD one of those little Pottery Barn chairs for the living room. My niece and nephew have them and they still love them years later

Alex is getting one of those too, but from my friend! (I only know because she wanted me to choose which colour I preferred). From DH and I, we're celebrating the fact that at 1 year they're allowed to have blankets in the crib so his main gift is a sweet little Pottery Barn toddler quilt and sham, both monogrammed. I figured we'd get him something he actually needs since he got so many books/toys/clothes for Christmas.

I bought a bunch of stuff for Ava on Black Friday and at a consignment sale in December, DH and I basically split everything in half for birthday vs. Christmas. For her birthday she is getting, a ride on toy, little people zoo, a couple of puzzles, some duplo's, and the FP dance and learn puppy. My IL's are getting her a wagon and something else that I can't remember and my parents haven't told me what they are getting her yet.
