  1. 1. Sergio, male, 08/10!
    2. He's in 12 months for top and bottom currently, size 3 for shoes. I prefer to buy his clothes and he has more shoes than I do!
    3. No specific author that we have a lot of. I don't care for Dr.Seuss. I like all of his books to have some kind of purposeful moral to them. We don't have many popular books, just The Giving Tree, The Hungry Caterpillar, and The Night Before Christmas, really.
    4. He loves anything that makes noise or moves on it's own. His favorite t.v. show stands to be Yo Gabba Gabba.
    5. Nothing under $25 that I know of. My mom is buying him a toy box, all else will be a surprise!
    6. Detroit Tigers, baseball.
    7. Spanish and English, about the same of both.

  2. 1. Oliver, male, 7/24
    2. Tops: 18-24, bottoms:18, shoes:5. Shirts and shorts are always useful! He could use a lightweight jacket too. 18-24m
    3. His library is pretty sad. Any book would be great!
    4. He likes cars. Anything with wheels really. He loves to push them around. We love Disney jr. And his party theme is Mickey Mouse clubhouse. He loves the songs.
    5. He's already getting a water table, sand toys, bathing suit, hat. I'll find out more soon.
    6. We like playing outside. Dad likes watching football. He's a Broncos fan. I love to bake and plan on having him help me as I've done with Caity since she was 18 months.
    7. My family speaks Spanish.
    Thanks BBJ for setting this up!

    2. What size is LO in for tops? bottoms? shoes? Does he/she need any of these things, specifically, or are you all set on clothes? Liam has been wearing 12 month clothes. He's got tons of shoes that he doesn't fit in yet nor does he keep any of them on anyway.

    3. What authors' books do you have a lot of? Any that you don't care for? Any popular books you DON'T have? I like the Sandra Boynton books- we have "moo baa lalala" and "the going to bed book"- that's all I have of hers so far. I do have quite a few Seuss books.

    4. LO's favorite t.v. show, stuffed animal, character, type of toy: We don't watch TV with Liam awake. His favorite toys are truck or really anything with wheels oh and he loves balls. "Ball" is the only word he uses consistently.

  4. 1. Liliana, female, 08/24
    2. She is in 6-12 month for clothes and 2 for shoes, but she has a ton...like A TON of clothing.
    3. We don't have a lot of Eve Bunting. We could use a Madeline book or two...the fact that she has absolutely none is mind boggling on so many levels.
    4. She loves her Jellycat bunny, and would surely live the Jellycat books. We are fans of Hello Kitty over here as well. She doesn't watch t.v. and I don't care for "character" stuff really. Dora and the like nauseate me. She loves music and instrument toys, wooden toys, things she can bang (drums) etc.
    5. All I know is what we are getting her, which is a mini piano.
    6. H loves hockey (leafs). We like going on picnics, going to the park, sailing, going to the beach.
    7. We speak 75% English, 25% French at home.

    Ryan, male, 8/21/12

    2. What size is LO in for tops? bottoms? shoes? Does he/she need any of these things, specifically, or are you all set on clothes?

    Currently in 12 months tops and bottoms, but we have plenty of clothes in that size. He could use some 18 month outfits. He doesn't wear or even own shoes at this time.

    3. What authors' books do you have a lot of? Any that you don't care for? Any popular books you DON'T have?

    Do NOT like Sandra Boynton; LOVE Dr. Seuss but don't have many of his books. We don't own Goodnight Moon or I Love You Forever.

    4. LO's favorite t.v. show, stuffed animal, character, type of toy:

    He likes Dinosaur Train, Sid the Science Kid, and Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That. His favorite stuffed animal is an ocelot, and he loves his lego duplos, stacking rings, and gears. He likes banging things together to hear the sounds it makes.

    5. Anything you know for sure LO is already getting?

    DH and I would like to get him either a water table, sit-on car toy, or baby drum set. I imagine his great aunts, uncles, and cousins will get him TONS of toys and clothes.

    6. Family likes (sports, outdoor related events, hunting, etc.):

    Philly sports fans (Phillies, Flyers, Eagles). We are not outdoorsy at all.

    7. Language(s) spoken at home:

    English, the occasional phrase in Yiddish

  6. 1. Felicia, female, 8/23

    2. We have enough "summer clothes" so putting the next size for Fall/Winter clothes for her which we have none... tops: 18-24 bottoms: 12-18 or 18-24 depends on brand shoes: in size 4 now, 5 for fall?

    3. She love her Llama Llama books. We have Wakey Wake and Nighty Night. She is also a huge fan of peek a boo books. We have one for Easter/Christmas and nose ears and eyes. Don't really have to many books.

    4. She love Pocoyo, she has a stuffed one and loves watching the tv show. She loves things that plays music and things that rattle/make nose when shaken. The leapfrog Violet dog is a favorite because of the songs she sings. We don't really have many bath toys.

    5. I have no clue of anything she is going to be getting, and I probably won't find out until the party.

    6. DD loves to swim and things that do with water. We own a boat so we will be on the river most weekends in the summer. DH loves Pittsburgh sports teams (Steelers, Penguins, etc.)She also LOVES being outside in her little shade tent.

    7. We speak English.

  7. 1. Liam, male, 8/15
    2. Currently he's in all 12 month stuff, but we will probably switch to 18 month shirts soon. I have no idea about shoes. We haven't bought any for him yet.
    3. We have a lot of books, especially popular ones, but always enjoy new books! We have every Sandra Boynton book. We don't have a lot of Dr. Seuss books (just Oh, The Places You'll Go, Cat in the Hat, and Hop on Pop). He loves books with buttons that make noises with the story.
    4. He doesn't have a favorite character or show. He loves toys that make noises, have lights, or have wheels.
    5. I don't know any gift plans yet.
    6. Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Indians, and Oklahoma City Thunder are our favorite sports teams.

  8. 1. Sidney, male, 07/07

    2. He is wearing mostly 12-18m tops and pants. He is set for clothes right now but we need some things for the Fall. I do need a lighter jacket for the summer but haven't found anything. We don't need shoes.

    3. We don't have a lot of popular books. I'd love to get some Sandra Boynton books as we have none. We don't have the most popular Eric Carle books and only have Dr. Suess' "One Fish, Two Fish...".

    4. We don't have cartoon channels so no fav shows. Sidney loves toys that are cause and effect especially musical toys like pianos. He loves his FP seahorse. I have gotten several Little People sets and he loves those! DH would love him to have a Halloween LP set b/c that's his favourite holiday. LOL

    5. We are getting his a water table but do not know of any other gifts coming his way.

    6. We are huge hockey fans. DH is a die-hard Pens fan and we also cheer for our home team the Flames.

  9. BDL in the house..
    1. Cameron, male, 7/31
    2. Tops: will be 12 months soon. Bottoms: 6-9 months. Shoes: 3 ..I like to dress him like a tiny person, not necessarily baby-ish clothes.
    3. We've got the basics (Goodnight Moon, Love You Forever, Where the Wild Things Are, etc). I don't like Sandra Boynton.
    4. Cam is mesmerized by Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He also loves cats (specifically our orange tabby) and things that light up. I also plan on forcing him to like Yo Gabba Gabba..so far he doesn't care either way. Oh, he likes kicking things a lot.
    5. I think his aunt is getting him a water table and a friend of ours is probably giving us her sons old books.
    6. We are very much into sports...specifically the Carolina Panthers and Duke Blue Devils. Cam is really into swimming in his baby pool. We spend a lot of time in our backyard and with friends doing cook-outs, tailgating, etc.

    1. Audrey, Female, 8/20

    4. She doesn't watch TV. She likes her Peter rabbit stuffed animal and Sophie giraffe. Her favorite toys are the ones that make noise or play music.

    5. I think we're getting her some blocks and outdoor toys.

    2. He is in 12 mon for tops, 9-12 mon for bottoms and size 4 for shoes. He's set on shoes and bottoms, but we can never have too many t-shirts.

    3. We don't have a lot of any one particular author, just a variety. I don't love Dr. Seuss. Our library is on the small side.

    4. We don't watch TV, but his favorite toy is a ball. Seriously, if there is any kind of ball in the room, then that's all he wants to play with. And legos (duplos).

    5. Not sure of other gifts yet.

    6. We love baseball, but team allegiances are split. DH is a big LA Dodgers fan and I am a big SF Giants fan. We call James StinkerBear, so we're finding that we like bear things. We love sports and outdoor anything!

    6. We are very outdoorsy, canoe, fish, hunt, hike, explore. We go to the beaches around here a lot on the weekends. It might be nice to eventually get a small sand bucket and shovel.

    7. English and a bit of French, we have very few French books.

    1. Abigail, August 17th

    2. Size 12-18 months in tops & bottoms, not sure about shoes. She can always use clothes. 12-18 months is still big, so she'll probably be in it for a while.

    3. We have a few Olivia books and a few from the Mercer Mayer Little Critter Series. We don't have any Sandra Boynton. We have a ton of books, but most are pretty random.

    4. She seems to like Sesame Street. No favorite toys yet, but she's very into her brother's trucks.

    5. No idea if she's getting anything already.

    1. Seth,male, August 7th
    2. Just getting into 12 month clothes but we have enough for the summer. The grandmothers got into a bit of a shopping competition so we are well taken care of for the summer. Shoes are 3 I think but he isn't into them.
    3. We don't have a large book collection. Some Dr. Seuss, some Sandra Boynton.
    4. We don't watch TV so he doesn't know Sesame Street, etc. He loves his soccer ball and anything he can ride.
    5. Not under $25 - I have requested a water table and a toy box (hand made by my dad)
    6.My DH is a big sports fan - Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles. We love to go swimming (Seth has been in swim lessons since 6 months) and he loves to be outside.

    1. Aiden, Male, 8/17

    2. What size is LO in for tops? bottoms? shoes? Tops and bottoms are currently a 6-9 but in the next few weeks will be moving him to 9-12. Shoes are a 4 or 5 depending on the style. He has a narrow foot.

    3. What authors' books do you have a lot of? Any that you don't care for? Any popular books you DON'T have?
    He really just has an assortment of random books I have picked up over time. He has most of the Dr. Seuss books, but that is the only author we have gotten a lot of.

    4. LO's favorite t.v. show, stuffed animal, character, type of toy:
    He doesn't really focus on T.V. for more than 5 minutes at a time. He adores Elmo though. The voice and the character.

    5. Anything you know for sure LO is already getting?
    Not really

    6. Family likes (sports, outdoor related events, hunting, etc.): We like to go outside and go for walks. He is really into his different balls right now.

    1. LO's name, sex, and actual birthday: Leo, Male, Aug 21

    2. What size is LO in for tops? bottoms? shoes? Does he/she need any of these things, specifically, or are you all set on clothes? He's wearing 18 months right now, so if anything... buy 24 months. My kid is a giant, what can I say? We are all set on 18 month clothing.

    3. What authors' books do you have a lot of? Any that you don't care for? Any popular books you DON'T have? We have a ton of Dr. Seuss and Sandra Boynton. We don't have "Guess How Much I love you" or "Goodnight moon". Those would be cute to own. I would also love to have a collection of Winnie the Pooh stories by AA Milne.

    4. LO's favorite t.v. show, stuffed animal, character, type of toy: Leo LOVES Sesame Street, and Murray and Ovajita are his favorites... although you can't really find them anywhere. He also loves Cookie Monster. We also have a ton of Winnie the Pooh stuffed animals. Leo likes shapes and nesting toys.

    5. Anything you know for sure LO is already getting? Hahahaha... we so haven't gotten there yet. I'm running behind on ideas.

    6. Family likes (sports, outdoor related events, hunting, etc.): We like going for long walks on our local rail trail, so some toys that attach to our jogging stroller would be AWESOME. Leo's also into going to the pool.

    7. Language(s) spoken at home: English (me and DH) Babblese (Leo)

  19. Hey!! Klmcguire Here!

    Landen, Male, August 28

    Tops & Bottoms: 18-24 MONTHS
    Shoes: 5
    We are really all set on shoes, but you can never have too many clothes.

    We have all of the Dr. Suess books and pretty much have everything popular.

    TV Show: Mickey Mouse, Octonauts, Jake & the Neverland Pirates
    Favorite Toys: Watertable and balls. He loves the outdoors, so we play outside a lot.

    Not really

    We are an outside family. We go for at least 3 walks daily on the weekends and at least 1 a night during the week. We like to play with the dogs, but we really do not have many other hobbies.

    2. What size is LO in for tops? bottoms? shoes? Does he/she need any of these things, specifically, or are you all set on clothes? He is currently in 12/12-18 mos, but we are set for summer. I think he will be in 18/18-24 mos by fall, so warm weather clothes would be great! Not sure on shoes, he has wide feet so we need to have him fitted.

    3. What authors' books do you have a lot of? Any that you don't care for? Any popular books you DON'T have? We already have a lot of the more popular books. Ones we don't have include Goodnight Moon and The Hungry Caterpillar.

    4. LO's favorite t.v. show, stuffed animal, character, type of toy: He loves Mickey Mouse, especially the beginning and the end. He loves music in general, and we are not opposed to him having instruments. He already has a lot of trains, but could use some more trucks. He also loves animals.

    5. Anything you know for sure LO is already getting? no

    6. Family likes (sports, outdoor related events, hunting, etc.): We love the Detroit Tigers.

  21. 1. My name = Allison
    Bump name = piphigirl
    LO's name = Charlotte

    2. Tops and bottoms = 18 months
    Shoes = I have no idea. Maybe 2 or 3?

    3. We have SO many but always like more! She likes Boynton books and LOVES touch and feel books or soft books that she can turn the pages without help.

    4. No TV shows here and she doesn't have favorite characters. She does like plush toys a lot, and loves any toy that plays music when she pushes a button/squeezes it/etc. When we go to our local play place, she likes to play with blocks but we do not have any yet. We also don't have any bath toys, but I know for sure she would play with them!

    5. Our families will probably deposit money into her savings account instead of buying gifts. (They are very practical people!)

    6. We like to travel and take Charlotte to try new things (zoo, aquarium, children's museum, etc.) My husband loves to take Charlotte on hikes in the backpack carrier. She also seems to be part fish, so we play in the water and go to the pool a lot.

  22. My bump name is LissaLynn

    1. Natalie, female, August 9th

    2. Clothes are 9-12 months. Shoes are size 3. I bet she'll be up a size in each by her birthday.

    3. Any board books are great. We don't have any Boynton. She loves any Sesame Street Books (which we have Tummies & So Big) and she likes the Usborne touch & feel books (We only own, "That's not my Puppy"). We have tons of nighttime themed books.

    4. Mickey Mouse is a favorite. She is really into her books lately. Most of the time Natalie will pick books over toys. We don't really do the "princess" thing over here.

    5. No wishlist for the family yet

    6. We are a very sporty family. Natalie likes to play on her own basketball hoop. WI Badgers and the Green Bay Packers are always in season!

    7. Only English. I wish we could teach her another!

  23. GRR! This is the third time I've typed this out and it's NOT taking my entry! If it doesn't go this time, I'm just posting it on TB and saying screw it! Now that I've vented...

    1. My name is Candace/Cheerilee. DD's name is Avery. She was born September 1.

    2. Currently, she's in 9 months clothing. She'll be in 12 months by August. She LOVES clothes. Purple looks great on her! We have some of the 12 month basics like onesies, pants, shorts... Frilly stuff is always welcome! We see that as a splurge so we tend to only buy girly frilly stuff for special occasions. She's in size 3 shoes in Stride Rite. She hates wearing shoes right now, though. Who knows what size she'll be in by August...

    3. We have 5-6 girly books for DD from the book exchange. That's it. I've been slacking and letting her destroy her brother's books! We don't have many "classic" books other than The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Goodnight Moon, Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, Brown Bear Brown Bear... DSS's collection centers around trucks and dinosaurs.

    4. Elmo is her favorite thing ever. Elmo and that little dog at Walmart that you can push his hands, feet, nose, ear and it plays different songs or teaches things. She has DSS's old one but it's starting to die and make the creepy dying noises... She also loves mirrors! She's all girl ;) I also tend to lean towards learning toys. We'll be getting her stacking rings and the large block with different activities on each side in the next month.

    5. I have no idea what family will get her. My mom is very random about things. My grandparents usually take DSS to Toys R Us for his birthday to pick something. DH's family sends money. We'll probably get her a single, big gift.

    6. We love to travel and try new things. Our travel centers around places we can drive to. We'll be visiting California a few times in the next year to go to the beach and Disney. DH likes the Kansas City Royals. I like the St. Louis Cardinals.

    EJ, female, 8/23/12
    2. What size is LO in for tops? bottoms? shoes? Does he/she need any of these things, specifically, or are you all set on clothes? Mostly 9 months, but we're pretty well stocked up for 12 months, too. No clue on shoes, I think 2 but we have a few pairs she still hasn't worn.

    3. What authors' books do you have a lot of? Any that you don't care for? Any popular books you DON'T have?
    Lots of Dr Seuss, some Sandra Boynton (love!), I would love something by Mo Willems!

    4. LO's favorite t.v. show, stuffed animal, character, type of toy: Her favorite are Fisher Price, it would seem. We have the lantern, the remote, the Rocktivity Table- those are probably her 3 favorites. She's also a fan of her V Tech walker. So, I guess she loves loud, obnoxious toys.

    5. Anything you know for sure LO is already getting? nope!

    6. Family likes (sports, outdoor related events, hunting, etc.): We are big Atlanta Braves baseball fans and we like to go hiking

    7. Language(s) spoken at home: Mostly English but I try to speak to her in Spanish and French, too.

  25. Bump name is shmozly

    LO's name is Lydia and her bday is August 19th.

    She wears 9-12 month clothes and size 3 shoes! Have plenty of clothes for her, grandma made sure of that.

    The only popular book we have is Goodnight Moon. I try to buy her books with beautiful pictures mostly.

    We own Violet but that's it for specific characters or themes, really. She loves music so all of her stuffed toys that play songs are her favorite. She loves to dance!

    Just big stuff!


    As far as sports we like the Saints and Bruins. Family hobbies are camping and cooking. We do a lot of artsy projects together, too.


    We speak English.

    We are good on summer clothing. 12-18 month clothing for the fall would be fabulous. She is a size 4 shoe.

    3. What authors' books do you have a lot of? Any that you don't care for? Any popular books you DON'T have?
    We have most of the really popular books. I would like more Dr. Seuss though. Any book is fine, I want to fill her bookshelf!

    4. LO's favorite t.v. show, stuffed animal, character, type of toy:
    She loves toys that sing or play music. Also, anything with lights. I like to think that her favorite animal is a fox because that's her last name.

    Not really. I don't even know what we are getting her.

    3. What authors' books do you have a lot of? Any that you don't care for? Any popular books you DON'T have? We have a pretty big variety. Grandma signed him up for the Dolly Parton Book Club. We don't have a lot of the classics. The only one I can think of is Brown Bear Brown Bear, Good Night Moon, And A handful of Seuss Books.

    LO's name, sex, and actual birthday:
    Gabriel, Male, 8/21/2012

    What size is LO in for tops? bottoms? shoes? Does he/she need any of these things, specifically, or are you all set on clothes?
    He is moving into 18-24 months. He is cloth diapered with big thighs and hips so we tend to avoid regular twill or denim bottoms. Stretchy bottoms and overalls are usually a good fit, as well as one piece outfits. Shoes...he's a 5ww, so don't bother, lol! We've already wasted enough of our own $$$, I'd hate for someone else to waste theirs too! We don't really NEED anything, but if you find something cool, he'd love it!

    3. What authors' books do you have a lot of? Any that you don't care for? Any popular books you DON'T have? We have a lot of Dr. Seuss but we are missing The Lorax, The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who. We have a few Eric Carle Books...The Very Hungry Caterpillar (which will be his party theme, The Very Busy Spider, and Brown Bear. Sandra Boynton books we have are The Going to Bed Book and Snuggle Puppy. The rest of his books are pretty random. He LOVES touch and feel books, but he only has Pat the Bunny, Baby Einstein Touch and Feel Baby Animals, and a book called "Little Fish."

    4. LO's favorite t.v. show, stuffed animal, character, type of toy: He doesn't watch TV so no favorite shows or characters, although we don't shy away from our favorite childhood pop-icons...Mickey Mouse, Pooh and friends, anything Nintendo related, and especially old school star wars have all made appearances in his wardrobe or toy box. We prefer toys that don't make electronic noises, most of his noise makers are things like maracas and a toy piano. Melissa and Doug toys rock, but he doesn't have many yet.

    5. Anything you know for sure LO is already getting?
    Just a M&D shape sorter, but I wish MIL would just send it now, because he would love it, lol! All his other gifts that we are certain on are big ticket things.

    6. Family likes (sports, outdoor related events, hunting, etc.): We are big Texans fans, DH is into cycling, and I like cooking and crafting (which I do a little with Gabe from time to time, I can't wait until he is bigger and can do more!) We love local and handmade things.

    1. 2) Went to the store today to size him - Samuel wears 18 month tops and 12 month bottoms. 1 piece outfits and onesies fit differently on him depending on the brand.

      3) He also has Tickle Time by Sandra Boynton.

      probably should have done more research before posting. Sorry!

    2. What size is LO in for tops? bottoms? shoes? Does he/she need any of these things, specifically, or are you all set on clothes?
    fitting 12 and 18 month tops but probably mostly 18 month by August. 12-18 month bottoms. shoes will be 4 by August, but he doesn't wear shoes much and he already has a couple of pairs. no sandals yet though. If there is one thing we actually need in the way of clothes, it would actually be pajamas. It's too hot for any at the time being, but come fall we have jack squat for sleepwear.

    3. What authors' books do you have a lot of? Any that you don't care for? Any popular books you DON'T have?
    We actually don't have a lot of books at all. The only really popular one we have is The Very Hungry Caterpillar

    4. LO's favorite t.v. show, stuffed animal, character, type of toy:
    He loves Word World and Baby Einstein! He is starting to recognize Elmo and Cookie Monster, but only in pictures. We don't have stuffed animals of them. He loves toys that have those cylindrical-looking things that spin.

    5. Anything you know for sure LO is already getting?
    Nothing that's under the price limit. Grandparents are getting him a play fort and tunnels.

    She wears 9-12 months, and could use some tops or footless jammies. The magical-er the better <3 <3 <3

    3. What authors' books do you have a lot of? Any that you don't care for? Any popular books you DON'T have?

    She loves her Sandra Boynton Belly Button Book, so anything by that author would be awesome. Other than that, she has, like, eleventy billion books. So, she's good there.

    4. LO's favorite t.v. show, stuffed animal, character, type of toy:

    She loves soft toys she can manipulate. Mama loves nerdy crap and magical crap. So, like those plush germs and similar things are right up our alley.

    She keeps getting taller, so we definitely don't need any more height right now.

  36. This is Jessica, bump name Shakinros.

    1. Amelia, female, 8/16

    2. 12mo tops and bottoms, size 4 shoes. She could use shoes, but I don't want any bumpies spending too much money on that! We're set on 12mo clothes, but she has practically nothing in 18mo sizes. It doesn't get super warm here, so nothing too summery.

    3. We have all the Dr. Seuss we need. I love Sandra Boynton and Lucy Cousins, but all we have so far of theirs is "Barnyard Dance" and "Hooray for Fish," respectively.

    4. She doesn't watch TV so no favorite characters yet. Her favorite stuffed animal at the moment is either Pooh Bear or Piglet.

    5. DH and I are getting her a sand/water table. No idea what else it'll be, probably some geeky baby-sized shirts from our friends?

    6. Oakland A's baseball (both of us), tennis (me), Star Wars (DH), Doctor Who (both of us), going to the park (slightly more me than him).

    Sophie is in 12 mo onesies and shirts, 9 month pants, 'cause she's a small fry. I think she's in size 2 shoes. We're pretty set on clothes, but we love jammies, especially 2 pieces ones that she can wear in the fall! Also, we don't have a lot of shoes. My kid goes barefoot almost everywhere. But I think that probably should change, otherwise we'll look trashy, hehe.

    We love the Dallas Cowboys and the Baltimore Orioles. She really needs no summer clothes and I expect her fall sizes to be around 12months for most things. She has a ton of books but we love to read. Anything about where another bumpie is from would be awesome. She loves the stackable rings in particular the blue one.

So far he's within the 9-12 month range but is on the taller side so 12+ would be best. He wears a size 4 shoe but won't keep them on yet so I've returned all the pairs I've bought. We are okay on clothes but I never mind receiving them.
