Birthday Gifting

When it came to searching for the perfect first birthday gift for Aria we were stumped. What do you get a one year old that isn't a toy? She already has a zillion toys and sadly, we haven't bought any of them. Yes, all have come as gifts from friends and family from her baby shower and Christmas.

Nate & I decided that we would get her a Pottery Barn 'Anywhere Chair'. Aria is now climbing up onto our couch and we rather that she have her own chair, the safer route, than the possibility of hurting herself climbing. After finding the chair that we wanted, I look across the screen and see "No Longer Available". Boo! I began looking through the other colors/patterns and made a new selection. After finding my second choice, I went to checkout and it said "your order will not be shipped until September". Say what!? No thanks! Needless to say we had to scratch that idea. Maybe we should just order it now so it will be in by Christmas time. Sshhhh, don't tell her! ;) I love the pale blue color of the one below. It reminds me of 'Alice' and considering Aria's bedroom is "Alice In Wonderland" themed, it would work perfectly; and not to mention it already has Jane embroidered on this moch-up. (Jane is Aria's middle name)

We ended up going this route for Aria's gifts:

 

Minnie & Friends Patio Chair Since it is well into summertime and we want to soak up some sun with our little munchkin, we thought a cute little patio chair would be perfect.

Minnie & Friends 9 oz. Sippy Cups Sippy cups right now are a must have. Due to her turning one, apparently you are not allowed to use a bottle...like...never ever again! :)

Disney Movies We enjoy watching movies at our house and although we have quite a few, we decided it couldn't hurt to have more. Disney movies are awesome! Period! Nate and I can't help but sing along and quote the entire movie when we watch them with her. I can't tell you how many times we have watched "Tangled" lately. It's just so darn cute!

Carters Cupcake Pajamas I love Carters brand clothes! It seems they always have good deals and if I don't buy off their website, we usually can find what we're looking for at our local JC Penny or Kohl's department store. They are good quality clothes and their jammies are very comfy fabric. This particular pair comes with a top and two pairs of bottoms. Bonus!

I'll leave you with this gem from when I went home at lunch today...
