15-Month Old ~ Christmas Gift Ideas

Our cutie patootie is now 15 months old and here are a few of the things she will be getting for the Christmas season.

First of all, a practical idea for mommy and daddy - I was sent an Auto Seat Back Protector, made by Dot and Dot, via Tomoson to test out and it is perfect for my poor back seat which tends to get lots of little scuff marks from super cute baby shoes, food pieces, and sippy cup / bottle "liquids" thrown at it. These seat protectors are a good weight, easy to clean, and easily adjustable and adaptaptable for wherever you need them.

Lindsey is rear facing still, so her seat protector is protecting my backseat. When she flips to be forward facing, it will be protecting the back of my front seat!

For Christmas ideas, here are a couple of the things we decided to get Lindsey this year:

• This one isn't a Christmas gift, but we've had to replace it twice this past year because Lindsey HAS to sleep with it every night, and she soothes herself to sleep with it. The glow and soft music make this a wonderful little "friend" for your little one to cuddle to sleep with. Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Soothe and Glow Seahorse (they come in pink and blue - Lindsey has the blue one.)
• Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Love to Play Sis - this is one I've had on my "wishlist" for Lindsey for awhile and it was on SUPER sale via Amazon not that long ago so I had to get it. Lindsey saw the toy once before I wrapped it and was so smiley and wanted to touch her feet and paws. Thankfully babies are easily distracted and I put it away so she can be surprised again on Christmas!!
• Toy Vacuum- Dyson DC DC14 with Real Suction - Lindsey loves to push anything she can around the kitchen - the Swiffer, broom, and small vacuum we have. So we decided to get her one of her own to practice "cleaning" with! They also make a Dyson Ball version which has better reviews, but we decided to get this one since it looks more like the real one we own.
• It wouldn't be gift season for our little one with a couple Melissa and Doug toys too - of course! So Lindsey is also getting this set of magnetic letters and numbers from us. She is really into magnets and putting things on and off the refrigerator, so we thought these would be great for her as she's starting to learn letter, numbers, and colors too.
• One last Melissa and Doug item Lindsey is getting is this Shape Sorting Clock - she is starting to figure out puzzles and fitting shapes through openings, so I think she will really enjoy this one!
• Lindsey has really loved her "Say Please Tea Set" (she carries the little plastic cakes all over the house, along with plastic silverware which cracks me up), so I think the LeapFrog Shapes And Sharing Picnic Basket is going to be enjoyed by her as well!

I haven't had a chance to take real Christmas pictures of her yet, but did get this sort of blurry one by the tree a few nights ago. Can't wait to see her having a blast on Christmas day with all of the wrapping paper! :) All of Lindsey's presents are wrapped in pink Hello Kitty Christmas paper.
