We went to my parents' house for Christmas Eve. Christmas morning, Jonathan, Dakota and I exchanged gifts and the rest of Christmas Day was spent with Jonathan's family. We had such a great time watching her figure out how to open gifts and visiting with everyone. I couldn't imagine feeling more blessed and happy to have the family we have that cares so much for our daughter. I do not have all of our pictures so I am only adding a few from what I do have.
Above are three of the toys Dakota got for Christmas. The playskool Poppin Park Elefun Busy Ball Popper is a lot of fun. She figured out quickly how to turn the toy on which causes the toy to gently shoot out the balls. I like it because it encourages crawling and it also plays music. The only downside of this toy is we have one inside dog and he thinks the balls are for him to chase so he likes to run after them or tries to steal them out of the toy.
The Musical Lion Walker is also a lot of fun. Right now Dakota is more interested in the toys on the front than pushing it to walk with but since she still doesn't have great balance, it works out. The downside for this toy is it can move faster than she can so it is easy for her to stumble or fall right now.
The Winfun Letter Train and Piano Activity Table is her absolute favorite toy. She will stand, dance and play with this toy constantly. It teaches colors, letters and music. The downside of this toy is it is if she tries to pull up on it a certain way it will fall on her. Not every time, it does have a pretty sturdy balance with the four legs but it has happened a few times. The upside is, the legs do come off easily so until your child is more stable on their own feet, you have that option.
The Fisher-Price Roller Blocks Play Wall is another fun toy. It is sturdy enough for her to pull up on when she wants to put the blocks into the ramps. You can stack and roll the blocks. She likes for me to stack them and her to knock them down. This toy also plays music. I have not found a downside to this toy so far.
Above are a few other Christmas toys that Dakota really enjoys playing with.
The Little Tikes 4 in 1 Ride On we have not gotten to use yet. However, it looks like it will be so much fun once we do!
We enjoyed an amazing First Christmas with Dakota. It is funny how much fun you have as a parent! If you have an questions about the toys I have listed or would like more recommendations please feel free to email me. All of the toys should be played with under close eye of an adult. Several of them can cause injury if the child is left unattended. I encourage you to read all warning labels from any items you choose to purchase for your child.
