Birthday Ideas

Lucian's 1st birthday is coming up so fast! A few people have been asking me about the types of things he likes to play with. Well, he isn't too specific. He typical likes things that aren't actually toys; such as water bottles, silverware, and boxes. But here is a list of things that he likes about objects. Maybe it can help contribute to unique ideas.

-Can be spun manually
-Has pages (he'd rather rip them out while trying to turn)
-Involves water
-Makes noise (not electronic, but in reaction to what he is doing such as shaking)

Here are some ideas that I came up with:

-Wagon
-Soccer Ball (actual size, he likes balls)
-Bath Toys
-Shoes (size 4 or 5)
-Socks (size 12-24 months)
-A small slide for the small backyard
-Small child books; board or regular
-Small chair for the living room

I am pro second hand. Rather from a yard sale or consignment shop or from the old collection in the garage. They grow out of things so quickly it just seems silly to always buy things new. We got him a little push car at a garage sale this past weekend for very little money. Pretty sweet deal I think. Anyways, just wanted to throw some ideas out there. Regarding clothes: he is currently in size 12 months. I'm excited about getting his party ready!
