First Christmas Stocking Stuffers

I’m still at a complete loss as to what to really get Lilah for Christmas this year. Honestly, what do you buy for a baby who will only be five months old on Christmas day? Then there’s the stocking. I was confused on this for a little while, but I think I finally found the right things for her stocking.

Disney Baby FINDING NEMO Amazing Animals™ Rounds

This was one of the first things that we bought for Christmas. I had originally planned on wrapping them in their original box, but it was a very awkward shape and after wrapping two other awkward boxes, I really didn’t want to do  third one. These are going in the very bottom of the stocking as they are one of the “heavier” items in her stocking.

According to the site, they are suppose to help baby learn:

Curiosity & Discovery
• Each round features adorable characters from FINDING NEMO, interesting details and a unique rattle sound for Baby to discover!

Gross Motor
• Just the right size for Baby to grasp, hold, shake & roll!

Sensory
• Bright colors, rattling sounds and textures stimulate Baby’s senses of sight, sound and touch!

Carter’s Accessories

We bought these accessories to go along with a collection of outfits we bought Lilah. I loved this new collection of clothes from Carters. We bought everything except for a few items. These are from the Light Brights collection. I love the fun mixture of navy, pink, orange, and white.

Carter’s Crinkle Book

I found this little book while shopping at a Carter’s store one day. I usually shop online since every Carter’s store is far away from us, but I’m so glad we were able to make the trip to one. This one features four pages with bright colored animals and their names. Each pages crinkles, which is a feature that Lilah loves so much.

Moccasins

I found these little moccasins at Meijer. I fell in love with them and knew I had to get them. I got them in a size bigger than what she’s in right now so that way they’ll fit her for a little longer.

My First Christmas Baby Doll and Reindeer Rattle

My mom bought these at Meijer. Lilah loves the two baby dolls she already has so I know this one will be a hit as well. I was a little concerned about the rattle at first. When it was first purchased, Lilah still wasn’t into rattles. She hated holding onto them until recently. Lately it’s been hard to get rattles out of her hands lately. She’s been wanting to go to sleep with them and even take them into her baths lately. I think it’ll go over well.

Bright Starts Snuggle & Teether – Elephant

Lilah loves these things. She has two others, the giraffe and monkey. The giraffe is a constant feature in the diaper bag and the monkey goes from hooked onto the car seat to in her hands during the day. I’ll be glad when Christmas day comes and the monkey can stay on the car seat and she can have the elephant as the one for in her to play with.

Sofia the First Soft Doll

Lilah loves watching Sofia the First. She already has the Minimus stuffed animal and my parents bought her Clover and Mia stuffed animals for Christmas presents. Even though this is supposed to be a toy for ages three and up, I honestly have no problem letting her have this now. She never plays with toys without someone in the room with her, so I really don’t think it will be a problem.
