Something educational like from Leap Frog. The kids love that stuff. I bought those for all my grandchildren and it was one of the favorites.

At nine months I would give them a Christmas ordiment for the tree... after all this would be their first christmas... and start a Christmas fund to put money into than when they are older they will have a nice chunk of money to go spend at a mall or game place. and Clothes give my sisters kids lots of clothes each year any they are always happy about it! OR start a scrapbook if it has not been done already than the parents can keep it up as they get older... To me memories are the best gift!

Oh Racin, I like the ornament (and hello btw! I've read some of your posts and think you must take after your mom. :-)) My mom buys those little potted christmas trees for each baby's first Christmas. She decorates it, sets it up in her house and takes care of it, and then after Christmas plants it either in her yard or the parents yard. The kids love to see how big their trees have gotten each year (and some of the older kids trees are pretty big by now!)

Wargod, maybe a little mini beanbag chair, when my daughter was little and just crawling, I made one for her (was real cute) (you can buy them too)..but she used to love to flop down in it, hold on to it while practicing standing and falling on it, and then sleeping in it as she got worn out... ??

Julie, that boy is so handsome! And that toothless smile is just as cute as can be! BTW, what does he (really) want for Christmas?

His two front teeth! (Not!) The only thing he really wants for Christmas is Flushed Away for Playstation2. The funny thing is he really does not want much for Christmas--and he would be out of his mind with happiness if he got a case of bouncy balls. He loves little crappy (gumball machine type) toys.

Oh thanks Biloxi, Vee and Jimmer! Jimmer, no, I didn't take it. I wish I were that good of a photographer. I have a good camera, but somehow cannot seem to take a really super good photo.

Julie, Travis loves gumball machine toys also. If I had a dime for every time I've heard "Mom, can I have two quarters"....

Hi, I have a friend with 4 kids..twins that are 1 year old. She is looking for a fence about 2 feet tall to go around her christmas tree. I have been surfing and haven't found one. Any suggestions??? Thanks Cin

Hussy...don't take this the wrong way...lol! They have pens at PetSmart and places like that for dogs...to actually contain them in, however having purchased one for our pup, it sounds like it might work for what your friend is looking for.

LOL, Scooter. Hussy when our kids were younger and the dog was a puppy, we made a fence using that while plastic lattice (that you'd find at Home Depot) fence. A couple years we used zip strips to tie them together (then after Christmas it was a snap to cut the zip strips and stack the lattice) and then when the kids were a bit older and we needed something more sturdy, Darren built a basic frame and attached the lattice to it. It worked great because the lattice is fairly cheap since ya don't need it that high or long so one sheet of it did just fine. Plus we were able to decorate it with garland and candy canes when they got old enough to know to leave it alone. I'll see if I can find a picture of it.

I just checked both computers and don't have any Christmas pics from when the kids were that little. I know I have some somewhere but I'll have to check through photo albums and my picture box to see if I can find them.
