What did you get for your bub's 1st birthday??

We've got Iz a HUGE stuffed pony that is in a sitting position so she'll be able to climb all over it, pretend to ride it etc but won't have far to fall off. Also got just a couple of little extra silly toys, including those crayola baby crayons and a big colouring book - might regret that one when she uses the crayons on my walls and floor!! My folks have got her a "thing" that is a combination push, ride on, pedal pony (again!) that you convert as they get older. DH's family have got her one of those pull out couch things with a sleeping bag built in - will be great if I ever get enough courage to leave her for sleepovers at grandma's house!

I like the cubby idea too Tan, but I think that's probably next year, or maybe next Christmas for Izzy and Ned combined.

For our kids first birthdays we built a toybox for Lindsay, and brought a timber table and chair set for Erin and a toybox for Paige, plus something small for them to unwrap. We didn't want to get them toys or anything as at that age they have absolutely no idea what it is all about.

For Izzy's birthday she got

- vtech sit to dance thing... it sings and plays music, teaches them alpabet and colours etc.
- vtech infant development system. that plugs into the tv and teaches the alpabet, numbers, colours, also has sign lanuguage on there too. and you can either play it with the tv or without.
- a motorised pink quad bike, which she loves just hasnt got the hang of holding the button down her self so mum does that!

For DDs 1st birthday (in 8 months!!) I have found a beautiful wooden painted tea party set. It has a cake in segments, tray, teapot, teabags etc all in wood and so very pretty. I think it is made in France. The website has just gorgeous things on it!

i wasn't going to give Archie aything for his 1st birthday, cause knew that others would get him presents and he didn't have a clue what the day was about anyway. DH wanted to give him something to unwrap on the morning of his birthday so we ust got a Playskool Ute for him.

Other people bought him:

-flip out sofa with sleeping bag (has come in very handy, gets played with every day)
-Fisher Price Laughand Learn House (THE best toy in the world)

I had always wanted to get Darcy a build-a-bear when she was born, but I never got around to it. SO for her first birthday I took her and let her pick (I've got a very switched on kid). She picked a pink poodle and I picked a little dancing outfit for it because she loved to dance at that age.
She doesn't play with it, it's just on her bed. But it was just from me to her...and as much for me as for her.
