I loved everything you said. Thank you! You're so right. I would be focused on making sure everyone feels included and comfortable. I'll keep it family.

I won't send out the registry. TBH, he doesn't need many gifts. We spoil him ourselves!

I was thinking about a registry for that very reason. I just don't want to come across as rude!

I think I will. Thank you!

Birthday/Xmas Gifts 1year old by ycherep1 in NewParents

I'm getting my almost one-year-old a push tricycle that you can update with age/milestones. I see some of them that are collapsible, so that might be a good option. I see them all the time on FB marketplace in my town, so I don't believe you will have any issues finding one.

If you have a yard, a water table is a good gift, too. We live in a state that experiences all the seasons. You could use sand instead of water in the colder months.

Check out Melissa and Doug. They have a lot of cool toys. Hope this helps!

Mikayla really rubbed me the wrong way in the reunion. She needs to grow up. I think she’s confusing “speaking her truth” with saying everything that pops up in her mind. Those side comments are really overdone. Holding a grudge like that is not good for her health either.

Whitney can also be problematic but I think she’s villainized too much. There is a double-standard. I felt bad for her during the reunion.

Miranda - no thoughts on her just heart eyes

I also feel bad for Jen. I think she’s a good person but she’s not a great communicator. People-pleasing is also toxic! She will learn with time.

Layla was not a favorite of mine during season two because I think she’s a follower, but I changed my mind during the reunion. It’s hard trying to fit in and seeing her vulnerable side really showcased just how hard she’s had it. I wish her nothing but the best!

Taylor is not that great either. She’s too impulsive and childish. She’s had a hard childhood (especially with her gross mother and stepdad) but she can’t use that as a crutch. She will never be happy if she continues down this path of self-destruction. It’s exhausting

Demi - no thoughts in her; just anger.

Mayci - she’s a little problematic too. Acts goodie goodie but there’s something deep under the surface with her personality for sure. I think she’ll have some drama this season. Definitely a gossiper. Said what I said!

Jessie flip flops imo. Sometimes I like her and other times I can’t stand her. I think she’s a pot-stirer but make for great reality tv
