Christmas Ideas

Some family members have asked for Christmas ideas for Nathan & Faith. It's easier to answer that via the blog since so many get it emailed.

Please don't feel like you have to get them something - Faith won't notice and Nathan will just love the paper & boxes!!! If you do want get something and need ideas, here are a few. Also - we we learned last year that foil wrapping paper is much more fun for the kids then the paper stuff, since it holds up to slobber better, just a thought :-)

Faith:
* she's pretty well set in 0-3 month & 3-6 month clothes. But only has a handful of 6-9 month outfits and a slightly more in size 12 months. I'm guessing that she'll be in 6-9 months through some of both winter & spring months; and 12 months over the summer. It's so hard to guess. Nathan was in 6-9 months at 3-4 months of age. And by the age of 5-6 months, he was in 12month clothes. But Faith is so much smaller to start and hopefully she won't grow like a line-backer!
* 6 month jacket
* size 3 & 4 shoes and 3-9 month socks
* baby spoons - how did all of Nathans seem to just disappear???
* bibs for girls
* and I have no clue what else to suggest...

Nathan:
* Size 3T pants, long sleeve & short sleeve shirts. Some 4T fits him pretty well in shirts, too. But 4T pants are way too long (3T are too long as is).
* Touch & feel board books or books that read to him
* Mariachi music CD. How on earth did MY son end up to be such a mexican music fan?!?!?!
* A small toddler/preschool table with a couple chairs (we don't have room for something very big)
* jumbo crayons or toddler creative art things
* toddler swing to hang outside
* Spill-proof sippy cups
* ABC or animal magnets
