What items used before 1 yr of age?

[aggiebug]

Help a girl out, mah brain is clearly drained.

I am thinking about Christmas here and while I am not planning on getting this baby boy a gift from us I do think S may notice if there isn't something under the tree or in his stocking for baby brother (Santa is unwrapped in our house). I also have family asking if we have anything on the list for the boy. Apparently they are planning on giving him gifts .

I am thinking Santa is going to bring a monogrammed stuffed animal for DS similar to what S has and I adore, but I am trying to think of other useful items we may need in the next year to fill a stocking.

A sippy cup or two since S's leak.
Maybe boyish played and utensils? (Frankly S will love a construction plate and spoon so it would be multi purpose )
Some bibs because ours are trashed.

Any other ideas?

Ohmahgosh I have about 10,000 pairs of socks which my dog is currently trying to eat. (Both dd's and hand me down for DS) No more! Lol

Sleep sacks? Different baby carrier (a ring sling if you already have buckles, for example)? Diapers and wipes and diapers and wipes haha.

Spendy splurges I did in G's first year:
Little Pitterpat shoes
Baptism outfit
Wubbanub(s)
Jujube diaper bag (have the BFF, would love the Be Quick)

I'll keep thinking.

I was thinking that we needed to buy more of those baby rings, like these www.target.com/p/edushape-66-linkets-toy-multicolored/-/A-14599474
V loved them and I can only find a couple of them now.

I bought more swaddle sacks and will buy more sleep sacks, since I wanted more with V.

Other than that this baby will be rocking hand me downs until they get older.

kartish. I can't recall, are you having another boy?

For us it's opposite sex which makes it a *little* bit easier, but we have a ton of gifted hand me downs.

I told my SIL if she has any clothes she would like to see worn again but can't justify keeping they make a great gift .

[kartish]

aggiebug at the moment we are still team green. We'll see if that holds past our next appointment, DH is wearing me down.

V was team green also though so all of our newborn up to 3-6 month clothes are GN, plus we received hand me downs from DH's niece, so clothing wise we are covered. I'm not one to oh and aww over clothes when I know they are going to be spit up and drooled and pooped on.

Definitely wubbanubs, extra bottle nipples, diapers, bibs, extra sheets and multipurpose pads,

[seamonster]

Noisy toys for tummy time
New pacifiers
New teething toys (Sophie is a hit)

If your sippy cups are leaking because of damage to the silicone, nuby sells replacements online for their cups and I think other companies do as well.

Lol I have too! When do they smile? Roll over? When did S start sttn? I have no recollection. It's crazy.

[agm04]

aggiebug shockingly i happen to remember 2 of those 3 things! haha. smile - about 8 weeks. STTN - 14 months.

[kartish]

I always said I'd wrote those things down so I could answer when V was older. But ya, that didn't happen and it's all so fuzzy already.

Do you have any toy sets that you could add a piece to? Little people, train sets, vtech cars?

The only thing I can think of is duplos which S is going to get more of for Christmas. She is getting her first set of little people for Christmas.
