We got him a tricycle that starts as a rocking toy/push toy and I got two other small Melissa and Doug toys on Zulily for him. I think FIL is getting him a water table, MIL is getting him a barn toy, and my parents are getting him baby's first gold clubs, so he's getting thoroughly spoiled.

DD's true birthday gift was her swing set. Plus she's having a big birthday party, so she'll get anything she really needs there. Because I really want her to at least have something to open from my H and I though, I got her a Disneyland Little People Playset. I'm obsessed with all things Disney, and she loves carrying her Little People around the house.
@babybean9 The smaller water tables are around $35 on Amazon which might be as much as you would spend on parts by the time you make one.
the cheapest one I've seen on Amazon is $75. Canadian woes. Lol. Thank you though!
Check out Toys R Us! There's some on sale right now for $35-$50. I just looked quick because it's almost what we got DS last year before my MIL bought him one and I remembered seeing them on sale there often. Check out Sears too, I make almost all our big item baby purchases there because they always have sales.
I'm thinking about a sand/water table or a kiddie pool for him. But I'm really drawn to this:
I have to admit it's for selfish reasons...I think it would be lovely for him to have a swing to chill in in the back yard even if it is only for this summer but then part of me thinks that's sooooo dumb and wasteful so I can't decide.
Our current garden is tiny, so definitely no room for any outdoor toys. Hopefully it'll still be summer when we move and we can get something outdoors-y as a house warming present for her!
So far I have some books that I think she'll love, and that's it. I've shown a few ideas to H but he doesn't really understand why I'm thinking about it now when her birthday isn't until mid June. I suspect this pattern will continue for the rest of our lives...

If you are going to do a swing set I would just go ahead and get a bigger one that he can grow into since he'll probably grow out of this one quickly. Do they make regular sized ones that have a baby swing instead of a big kids one?

I told myself I was only buying J a few small things. So far, there's a tunnel and tent from ikea, a take along toy with gears, then the things I bought at the JBF sale if I hold onto them that long. One of those is for the grandparents house though.
My mom is getting him a water table. DH and I are planning on getting him a Radio Flyer 4 in 1 Trike. I think we'll also get him a dump truck. My in-laws are planning on getting him a Radio Flyer wagon. DH's aunts told me they are planning on getting him something too. I just asked that it be outdoor toys.
I want to buy M this wagon for her birthday. The hubs thinks it's crazy, but I'm buying it anyway.
How cute! DD has a hand me down wagon from my nieces. I sit her down in the "floor" part so she's blocked in by the raised-up seat parts on either side. She stays seated unless she sees a dog walk by- at which point she tries to get said dog ASAP.
Bluedaisy my mom was going to buy that for LO and she claimed she read "all kinds" of bad reviews on it that said it tipped over. I didn't see any that said that, but you might want to investigate!
A Eco vessel stainless snack cup, a mini Stella doll, she will get an anywhere chair from someone to match her sisters, we bought a hiking pack for her to use now but is a birthday gift. We couldn't come up with anything else to get. She needs nothing with a 2yr old sister.
If you guys are ordering the anywhere chairs, be sure to just get the bigger one. It's not that big. LO can climb in hers and her very tall 5 year old cousin also fits, so there's longevity. The smaller ones are very small.
