  Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. These are really helpful! Even though I have 11 nieces and nephews, it's hard to remember what they were "into" at around 15-18 months old. Toys are so super expensive here, so I'll probably focus on those- puzzles, art supplies, bath toys, etc. And I always stock up on clothes and shoes. If you think of anything else, let me know! Also, @kzawisl what is a sippy grip?

  DH and I are Americans living an adventure in Kenya since 2011

  DX: PCOS (annovulatory)

  Feb 2012: IUI #1 w/ only 1M sperm and a single follie = BFP! 

  Nov 2012: Little buddy born in Kenya

  Nov 2013: Trying for a second, still w PCOS

  Dec 2013: IUI cycle canceled for non-response

  Jan 2014: Break cycle BFP!
