MJ's Wish List

Christmas is just a month (!!!!) away... and usually I've started buying presents for Lennon by this point... but since I had Brother 6 weeks ago, present buying has fallen to the wayside.  That and I have NO CLUE what to buy a hatchling for his first Christmas (you'd think I'd know, since his big sister was about the same age he will be on his First Christmas).  So I finally compiled a short list of things I'd know he'd love to have (and maybe a few me and A would like for him to have as well).

1. Wooden Guitar Teether [$12.00]

2. Vans Checkerboard Crib Shoes [$22.00]
3. Baby Einstein Take-A-Long-Tunes [$8.00]

4. Cloud B Gentle Giraffe Soother [$30.00]

Birthday Shopping

I got my first paycheck at work yesterday, so I thought I would do a little bit of Birthday shopping for Lennon [since her birthday is in one week exactly - eeek!]

Dress $7 and Ant toy $1 @ Target

Tunic $9, Hedgehog toy $3, Denim Jumper $5, and Floral Henley $4 @ H&M

So far I've spent ~$30 on her.  I'm going to buy her one more thing - a toy - and then I think she's set; well from me anyways (;

Lennon is a clothes horse

Today, Lennon and I went to The Outlets at Anthem with her great-grandparents for some clothes shopping.  We hit up the clearance racks at The Children's Place first.  Great-Grandma and I had an armful of clothes we both had found, but we weeded it down to five items [denim shorts, white t-shirt, pink t-shirt, pink leggings, and a tie-dye t-shirt]; the grand total was just over $10!  Just down the way was Carter's, which is always the death of me.  Great-Grandpa entertained Lennon while me and Great-Grandma picked out $40 worth of clothes [I had a coupon for 25% off if $40 was spent].  In the end we decided on a denim swing coat, a set of 5 onesies, a plaid shirt with coordinating brown leggings, a pink "birthday girl" t-shirt, and a blue hoody with coordinating flowered leggings; total equaled to be just around $30... which RARELY happens for me at Carter's!  The last place we hit up, was Oshkosh B'Gosh.  I know it's a sister store of Carter's but I had never been inside.  They had similar clothes to Carter's, but with less bright colors.  Great-Grandma bought Lennon her first pair of Oshkosh B'Gosh overalls - pink and white railroad stripes with a pink butterfly on the front pocket... so cute!  That came to about $15 :D  I was very impressed with her loot that just came to $60 for the day.  And we had finished shopping for her in less than 40 minutes :P

All of Lennon's clothes from today's shopping extravaganza!
