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

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.

For my first son's 1st birthday we bought him a big boys bed and book shelf. This is because his birthday is only 3 weeks after christmas and he was spoiled as it was his first christmas. We also gave him a few toys and things to unwrap, and he also got spoiled by everyone else anyway.

We got a jumping castle that takes up to 90kg (so about 5 toddlers), for his 1st birthday party and now it comes out every time Mother's group or relatives come over. Easy to put up and down. Cost about $300 from the Markets.
