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

We got Oskar a bike (Target) which will suit him right up to around 3 yrs old...you can take things off and change it as they get older - it has a sun visor thingy, 5 point harness etc. He loves it and we can go for walks with him without taking the pram. He got lots of lovely clothes and other toys - trucks, trains, blocks etc from friends and family when we had his party.

My parents brought Emma a rocking horse for her birthday, not a small one though, she is 9 now and still sits and rocks on her horse. Of course we had to hold her on it when she first got it, but it was a special pressie that she can still use. Both Emma and Hamish got little cars that they could push and sit on and ride.

Aston got a Vaccum cleaner He is avidly fascinated with ours, so we decided to get him a fisher price one. He loves it! When every I do the vaccuming, he gets his, and "helps" me.

we got Krystal a TMX elmo, a pull along caterpillar, some books and clothes.
i put them all in a basket, and sat her in front of it.. she had a ball pulling everything out!

its hard at one, because they dont understand the idea of 'look! presents!!!!' but i guess new stuff to play with is good.

im looking forward to Krystals 2nd birthday, as she knows what 'pesants' are now! lol

Grace had so much stuff from christmas, that we kept it very simple. She got a dressing gown, pjs, winter clothes, shoes...little stuff like that. She got a princess ride-on trike from her grandmother, and she also got a doll and gorgeous pram from her nanna and pop and aunties...so we didn't need to get anything big and fancy, everyone else had it covered! lol.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I like the idea of the Learn and Play house but am wondering how long she could use it for - its says 36 mths I guess. She will definately get one of those fold out couches! Thanks for the reminder! She doesn't get alot of toys all the time so we would like the things that she does get to be things that are versatile I guess! We are going to get her some musical intruments and probably the trike with a handle, and now Im just thinking of things to tell mum because she is desperate to go shopping!

We got our son a rocking horse- and he loves it. It is huge so we have to lift him on to it, but he will be able to use it for ages- my 7 y old nephew fits on it. We bought it from e bay for a good price, and I think it is something that can be handed down to his children if he wants to.

His grandfather bought him a flip out sofa with a sleeping bag and I agree that these are great, my son uses his every day.
