Baby's birthday

As hard as it it to believe, our little great-nephew, Joseph, turned one year old on Thursday! 

We wanted to send a gift for him, but had a hard time deciding. My go-to gift for little kids is books, but I knew that wouldn't mean much to such a young little guy. I wanted something fun.

With that in mind, this is what we decided on.




And for extra fun, we found a cool t-shirt to go with it...


Thursday afternoon, shortly after the gifts were delivered, Tyler (nephew and baby's dad) texted me this photo. Look how happy little Joey looks!


Needless to say, the bike and t-shirt were hits!

Such a cute photo of Joseph enjoying his new bike (so perfect for someone learning to walk!) And I love that ABCD t-shirt too, LOL!

We used to buy very similar wooden bikes for our own and other children, they all loved them.

Chris said...

They are super gifts, I love the tee shirt.

Great little bike! Have you heard of " Wicked Uncle"? It is UK based company that does brilliant gifts for kids. I just checked and it seems that they also operate/deliver in USA. You can enter boy or girl, and ages and they show you lots of wonderful items for that age group.

Jennifer said...

Thank you for this!! My little "neice" (friend's daughter) has a birthday party coming up and I need some ideas for a 7 year old girl. I can't wait to check out this website!

Jennifer said...

Me too! I had fun looking at "funny baby t-shirts"!

Jennifer said...

I didn't know they made "balance bikes" for toddlers. I'm glad he likes it!

Jennifer said...

That face made my day!

Jennifer said...

I think he's a jolly little guy. His mom and dad are lucky to have a baby with a good, easy temperament! They'd better stop now while they're ahead. :)

Jennifer said...

My other favorite shirt said "I still live with my parents" LOL

Jennifer said...

Little kids are fun to shop for. Then they get older.....

Jennifer said...

I spent a week trying to think of something good. I'm glad I found something that worked out so well!

Jennifer said...

There were so many fun shirts for babies and toddlers! We considered one that says, "I get my good looks from my uncle" Haha!

Jennifer said...

I really enjoy picking out gifts for others, especially children.

Jennifer said...

Oh, I hope so!

Jennifer said...

He's a cutie!

Jennifer said...

Haha! Isn't that shirt a riot?!

Jennifer said...

Thank you Boud! It tool me long enough to decide on something.

The vehicle and little guy are so cute.
