We are thinking of some backyard play sets or something but I'm not loving what I'm finding when I search. Definitely want to get him a baby swing, too... And a little tikes bike/thing? What are those even called?
I'm not getting anything for her. Lol. So far she has already gotten a push/foot powered red Mini Cooper, a slide, a pool, a picnic table and my dad got her a play kitchen which hasnt come yet. Not to mention she doesn't turn 1 for another 2 weeks and we haven't had her party yet! I think we will get plenty!

I have no idea. I purposely am not having a huge party so that I avoid a million presents. I'll be watching this thread for ideas. For dd1 I got her a laugh and learn tea set and she still loves it at 4.

I got M a mega bloks table and lots of bloks and a playhouse for the backyard (at a consignment sale, cheap!). She got a slide and basketball hoop from others, I CANNOT wait to make her an outdoor area when all this freaking rain stops. She also got a fancy push/ride tricycle thing that is amazing. I put it together by myself and was damn proud. It's a Little Tykes 4 in 1 and it rocks.
she also got this play kitchen link I wasn't thrilled about it at first but it's really small so it takes up almost no room and is the perfect height for her. If she really likes it we'll get her a bigger one next year.
MH and I are going to wait and probably get her an outdoor slide and a kiddy pool as the summer gets going. We bought her practical stuff for her party. womp, womp. I highly recommend the balance bike. It's small enough that she can practice indoors now. She loves riding it so far. Oh that reminds me I need to get her a tiny helmet.
We haven't bought him anything. Our friends gave us their bike buggy, the one you attach to the bike. And we've gone out twice already and he loves it. We were thinking a radio flyer but still debating.

To be completely honest I am not a fan of the kitchen. It is made of lightweight plastic and can easily fall on her. I don't see her as much as I like so I am not sure if she plays with it a lot but there are a lot of pieces to it. If she likes it though, the I like it.
I am so happy my parents got her the balance bike. Her legs are a little small for it now but it will work on her balance and will let her be more mobile in the future which she will love. I highly recommend it as well as I had one when I was little and it helped me learn to ride a bike faster and gave me more confidence.
Side Notes: SQUEEE Little helmet would be cute when she gets the hang of it. I am all about helmet laws with bikes. Saved me more than once.
Also 2 words.... "BUBBLE MOWER" and also adding 3 more words "BUBBLE LEAF BLOWER!!
Probably nothing. Horrible I know! DD didn't get anything from us for her first birthday either. Hers is a month after Christmas so we were overloaded. Add in another kid and we're still overloaded 2 years later haha.

We got her the Goodnight Unicorn book and a little vtech unicorn toy. I'm still waiting for them to arrive though. Amazon prime for the win. That's about as much as we'll get. No big party here and our house is overrun with toys as it is.

We asked MIL to get a helmet for her. We already have a bike seat and a trailer so we just needed the helmet. SheilaTheTankJukEboXtheTanK the Gira Scamp fits out petite girl really well. I tried a few on at REI yesterday and it was the only one small enough, just so you know. I don't think we're going to get her anything. My mom got her a baby doll. She doesn't really need anything. We have too many toys for our house as it is.

I love the idea of the tea set - thanks! We need more girly toys We are also thinkimg of getting her this play table www.target.com/p/step2-busy-ball-play-table/-/A-16292394 which someone on here recommended in a previous thread.
We're also getting them a few smaller toys... Aiden's getting a xylophone because he loves the one at daycare. Riley is getting a toy that lights up because she loves those. And I'm sure their grandparents will all go crazy. So I think we'll be donating some old toys to daycare. LOL

Thanks for the suggestion halfahippy, a new REI store opened near my ILs. I'm going to see if they have any available so we can try it out on her first.
I'm confused....or completely sleep deprived. Probably both. JukEboXtheTanK why do I not recognize your name?
It's MH. He was around a bit when K was first born, then work got ahead of him. He hangs out mostly on the dad's board and parenting. They let up some of the restrictions on the sites he can access at work so he can actually post now.
I swear he's legit. May be a weirdo, but not a creeper.

lindy04aggie, K has that train and loves it. She can ride on the back as well as push the engine around the house as a walker. We have a cute video of MH pushing her around the house saying "choo, choo" together.
My parents got her a Pottery Barn Everywhere Chair.
She will probably get little to nothing from us. #secondchildprobz
I'm pretty sure I doomed myself because I know I will feel uber guilty if I don't throw an equally big first birthday for each subsequent child we have.

So much cheaper on Amazon! I tried them on there, but no way I'm paying what they want when it's almost half the price on amazon.

Yeah, I just looked and some of the helmets are $60+. HAHAHAHAHA No.

I have a list going on Amazon for him. I think we might do a balance bike and helmet for him and let the grandparents take care of the rest. I have a slide, basketball hoop, bubble mower, bubbles, clothes, and a water table on there. I don't expect him to get it all by any means. I'm still trying to decide if I even want to have a party and we are a month out. Better get on that.

This was very similar to my list. I wanted a lot of stuff on there so people would have options or get ideas.
