Consignment Sales Coming Up

With all the consignment sales about to start, I am trying to think ahead and get a list together...
What TOYS/equiptment/STUFF did you use in the 9 month to 18 month range?? Their b-day is in May so I will buy some toys etc for the big day...
We have saucers, a jumper, and high chairs...but I would like to think ahead and get some fun things for spring/summer as far as toys and activity type things.
So please let me know anything you loved, hated, or just plain NEED for that age range...
Also my girls are 7 1/2 months now and in a size 12 months. What size would you buy for spring/summer clothes? 18-24 months? Does growth generally slow down around this age bc I have two little beanpoles!

 

Oh, boy! Well, I think that 2 of the things we use the most around here are our Radio Flyer Wagon and a Little Tykes picnic table . That picnic table was the best thing ever! We use it for snacks, coloring, crafts & sometimes when I'm cooking they'll sit there & "help". They even cut out sugar cookies for Santa on that table. And I just pull up one of their stools & sit next to them on the end.

For toys, right now my dd is really into clothes & baby dolls. She has a few dress up clothes & hats that she loves playing with. My sister just sent a box of stuff & a little princess doll that she just fell in love with. I didn't realize until she kept saying "Hair, Hair!!" that this was the only doll she has that's not totally bald. They also both really love those little shape sorters.

 

ride on toys, push toys, leap frog table

 

I second the leap frog table! My girls love that thing!

They also love the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Home. We got it for them for Christmas and they love it!

 

Ha! That's so funny about the hair... How much use do you get out of the canopy on the wagon? Is it worth the extra $$ to get that one??

You know, at first we used the canopy all the time. But then I realized that it made it harder for them to get in & they couldn't see as much. So we don't really use it that often. However, it is nice every once in awhile if we're going to be out in the sun for that extra protection. Mostly I like how this wagon has 2 seats with seatbelts on each side.
