A lady bug cake would be so cute!!
For my DD 1st birthday, we got her books, but sicne she love to dance I got her a toddler MP3 player.
It comes with about 20 songs, plus I can hook it to the computer and add more.
The product is great, the only problem I had was with their customer service.
It is kind of expensive, but you can usually find them oin sale. I got mine when a store was going out of business for 85% off.
Using windows movie maker I made a video of pictures of her 1st year and just put music in the background. I also made her a photobook.
