Birthday List for Natalie

Natalie requests some presents wrapped in paper so she can rip and tear it, but tissue paper is fun, too. :) She also likes stick-on bows. Big boxes make great gifts, too, even if there is something small (or nothing at all) inside them. To not put a damper on the unwrapping fun, Natalie also requests anything she might rip off and put in her mouth be removed from presents in advance if possible. Tags could be tucked into an envelop instead.

Zoobies - animal book / magazine
Books with flaps or slides (too many per page is overwhelming)

Toys:
See Babies R Us wish list for more details
Gund stuffed animals - such as Classic Pooh Bear or Eeryore, Cookie Monster, hand puppet

Clothes:
A second pair of Robeez shoes. Not pink or purple. Not Mary Jane style (her foot is too chubby on the top). She currently has a size 1. Might want to get a receipt in case that changes by her birthday.

See Carter's wish list for specific items we like (You can use them as a guide). All clothes are size 12 months and should be preparing for fall and winter. (In March, she will be 18 months and will need warm weather clothes). Lots of the Carter clothes can be found in stores like JC Penny, Khol's, and Sears.

PJs - Natalie needs both fall and winter pjs

Long and short sleeve onesies

Pants (including jeans and leggings)

Sweaters / sweat shirts (hoods are nice, cardigan style is best)

Jacket (we really like the one on the Carter's wish list for this item)

Socks

Winter hat / mittens (This is really more for Christmas, but I put it on here while I was thinking of it)

Head bands - stretchy kind that go around the whole head, should be soft fabric that won't dig into her scalp

Gift cards:
Borders (Barnes and Nobel works, too, but we have a Borders in our mall)
Babies R Us / Toys R Us
Walmart
Carter's
iTunes (to make her a music cd)
