We opted not to purchase much for Brady’s first Christmas since we have heard numerous times from family members that they have bought more for him than anyone else. We of course have the daily costs of diapers, formula, sitters and now food to endure. Plus we’ll need to purchase a couple of the higher priced baby gates pretty soon. For a second we thought we shouldn’t buy him anything, and really we could have, its not like he knows any better, but how fun is that?
Saturday night once Buggy is asleep, Santa will come and leave a few special gifts that mama and daddy will help him open.
He loves to lean forward on my lap and press the keys on my laptop. This seems like a good way to entertain him while laying on his belly.
Time for food! Got him the Tommee Tippee Easi-Mat and bowl set. This systems seems so smart and I can’t wait to hand B a spoon and let him try to feed himself.
I can’t find a picture anywhere but we bought him a Cozy Cover, similar to the JJ Cole Bundle Me only way cheaper. This is an item that goes on the list of had to buy this anyway so might as well wrap it up and call it a gift.
Then he has a few stocking stuffers including a little football, socks, a rattle, two little crayola books and this
and this.
I can’t wait to help him rip the paper off the packages and watch him grin like he has any idea what is happening. 🙂

Cam was the same age as Brady this time last year and we bought that laptop for him too. He STILL loves it a year later. 🙂

Great gifts for toddlers, you gave me a better idea what to give for my nephews. I was late for Christmas, so I will send them gifts even though. Thanks for the post!
