Gift Ideas For A 1 Year Old!

First off I cannot believe tomorrow I will have been a mom for an ENTIRE YEAR! It is crazy how fast time does fly and we are so excited to celebrate him tomorrow just as a family and then at the end of the month with the rest of the family.

But my husband and I knew one thing we did not want him to get 1,000 loud music playing toys when he can only play with some at a time. One of our best friends had her daughter's party earlier this year and she did something so cool. She created her daughter a birthday registry, yes exactly like ones for baby showers and weddings but for your kid's birthday. I thought this was genius and that is exactly what we are doing to try and avoid the repeat, drive you crazy, toys and fill it with educating items, some toys, things he can grow into and clothes for the next season.

Since I know you all will be asking, yes there is an app and it is called MyRegistry. You can also do it all online as well and it is very user-friendly! We just added a little insert with his birthday invitations to let everyone know. I think it will also save us from people asking what does he want for his birthday, what size is he and trying to coordinate what to tell each person so there is no repeat gifts. Yes, I know it may not work perfectly but I will let you know how it goes after his party.
