You can have your family members record their messages with different props and outfits to make it even more special. These videos will allow them to view these videos over and over again as they grow up.
Happy Fourth Birthday, Landon!
Toys for Pushing and Pulling
Push walkers encourage 1-year-olds to move about on their own. You can teach them how to use the walker in corners and different parts of your house.
While having fun, pulling and pushing toys can help develop motor skills like coordination, strength, and balance. These toys have extra features, such as bead and shape sorters, that keep children entertained longer. Not only will this increase their lifespan, but it will also encourage learning through exploration.

Ride-on toys that allow him to roll and push with his feet for speed are the best. This helps to improve muscle tone, coordination, and body awareness.
Choose a low-to-the-ground design to reduce the risk of injury if your child loses balance or a tricycle-style model where he can push with his feet.
Best examples include:
rocking horses
Toy plane that you can push and ride.
ride-on cars
Tricycles
Push scooters
They are generally safe for toddlers under one year old, but only with supervision! Toy cars and planes are great for your 1-year-old.
Board Book
Board books are a wonderful 1st Birthday gift for a boy or a girl, as they have become more interested in words and images. Your one-year-old’s favorite thing about board books is the bright colors, the bold fonts, and the many characters. The board books are made of cardboard or plastic, which is easy to clean. They make great toys.
When children are read to, they can learn about anticipation and predictions and improve their language and vocabulary.
Choose board books with vibrant pictures, interactive features like cutouts for little fingers to push through, touch-and-feel pages, or hand puppets.
Here are some of the best examples.
