We didn't really get Charley anything! Between all the gifts our generous family and friends sent, plus the collection Mom kept from when I was little (plus some extras she's picked up along the way), along with some gifts she was given when she was younger that I held back for when she'd enjoy them more, she had quite a stash!
These items I wanted her to have - in my quest to make her love great apes as much as I do. :)
And here are the items that either belonged to me, or came from a previous gift give, or I bought her on Craigslist earlier this year.
Susie came by on her big day to give her this horse and a book about finding a bird! So perfect!
Grandma got her Corduroy - always one of my faves!
Pat and Sarah got her this adorable Under the Nile frog...
... and this awesome Haba stacking toy! BIG MISTAKE, opening this one right away. It quickly has become her FAVORITE, and we could get her to focus on nothing else for the rest of the night!!!
The Brewster's got her these adorable shoes! (Notice she's still holding the stacking toy...)
The Cotten's got her this book - great bedtime story!
Uncle Michael got Charley this cool tugboat!!!
And Grandpa gave her money for her savings account! One day she'll REALLY appreciate this!
Nana and Pops got her this Clifford dog...
... it's the first time I've ever had her kiss something when asked!
We had several books for her, and just let her dive in.
Doing what she usually does with books... sigh.
Charley signing "more". It's the only sign she's picked up, and she uses it for everything. More what Charley? Gifts???
Well, we didn't make it through all the gifts - it was quite overwhelming for little girl. So we called it quits halfway through and went to take a bath with our new tugboat toy. We'll have to finish the rest another day!
