Baby's 1st Christmas/ Hanukkah

[smore]

What is everyone doing for baby's first Christmas or Hanukkah or winter holiday you celebrate?  I feel like it wasn't this hard with the first baby but I am guessing that is because she wouldn't have known any different.  But with  DS he doesn't know any different but his sister sure will.

I am thinking in terms of gifts. I am really stuck because we have a lot of our old baby gear.

[ampaints]

We are going pretty light this year. He's getting one small you and then plates, bowls, utensils, and a bottle with handles since we'll most likely be starting solids in January.

Ft so we don't have much. I got him a Beatbo a learning puppy a baby Einstein music turtle thing and some teethers. One of my friends got him a babyneinstein thing that attaches to the crib for music and soothing. I have a bunch of "boy" friendly blue rays on his list and some other small toys for family to hopefully buy. Probably too much lol.

I got Alexis some clothes, and a piano toy, I also got her the anywhere chair. Emma is getting the vtect smart car city -- we got it for $30 off, and some clothes and some small stuff. My inlaws are getting Emma the kids fire from Amazon.

Jackson is getting new jammies from the Jammie Elf and i am getting him some books for his collection. I might get him a small toy or two.

I think we will get stuff for solid feeding like ampaints, along with a dvd of baby sign language and some board books.

A is getting a Fisher Price Kick N Play Piano (I got a great deal on it) and a Fisher Price Infant to Toddler Rocker. Also 2 small books. My house has been completely taken over by baby gear and toddler toys!

She's getting some books, a pair of booties, and an amber teething necklace. That's it.

We got Noah an activity center and the illustrated Harry Potter book. Let's be real though, the book is for me lol. But really, they come out until 2022 so he will get one each year so he has his own HP collection too.

We're just doing a photo book for Arya of her family members, and a "My 1st Christmas" ornament.

I created an Amazon wish list for my parents and others who have been asking what to get her so they have an idea what to buy (although I also let them know she doesn't need anything...wrap up an empty box she can play with and she'll be good!). We don't need any clothes, we've been super lucky in the hand me down department, and we live in a small apartment, so can't handle any big toys. I put things like the merlin sleep suit, diapers, wipes, and a few toys on it (a mirror and water mat for tummy time, etc)

[queenb]

We got him BeatBo too! And I got some nice wooden blocks, some link toys, a book, and a new soother strap. I might get him an outfit and then that's it. My parents are getting him an exersaucer and between all the other family members he'll get LOTS! There's only so much a baby needs!

We over did it this year (mostly because it will be the last year that we can do a big Christmas without using credit cards or anything like that). We have a lot of the "BIG" gear from DS yet, but she is getting:
VTech Table
VTech Nursery Rhyme Book (at least I think that is what it is)
Fischer Price Ride On/Walker Elephant
Books (some soft books, Lost My Name book)
Fleece tops (mostly to wear in the car seat)
Outfit or 2
PJ's
I know there are more, but that is what I can currently remember. I've been shopping throughout the year though so definitely going overboard. DS is getting a ton this year too.

College fund. Books. Maybe a toy.

Bought a new house yesterday, she will have to make do with that. Grandparents are buying an exersaucer and a high chair.

I just tipped the scale to overboard for dd when I saw the new lego set for frozen.  I know she will love it.  She asked for the little mermaid one this year.  Ds is where I am struggling bc we have the gear from dd.  I think we are going with the bright beats play gym for him.  My family will go totally overboard.  They always do.  I am wracking my brains on what to tell them so it is useful and works for our house.

I'm thinking a few toys and a yearly ornament. My sister in law received 29 ornaments when she got married and I like the idea.

We're driving up from FL to IL so we're getting Jake a kick piano thay he'll get before Christmas. I'm sure both sets of Grandparents will spoil him like crazy. I'm bracing myself for clutter.
