I just had a baby 4 months ago and my 2 year anniversary is coming up.
we don't have a babysitter and my husband doesn't really want to leave him with anyone just yet, but he wants to do something fun.
ANY GOOD IDEAS FOR THINGS THAT WE COULD DO TO CELEBRATE?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Have a candle lit pinic in your home on the floor. If your baby is a sleeper you won't have a problem, but if not try to keep the baby up all day and give him a warm bath in the calming baby bath and that should do the trick or just plan something when you feel more comfortable with a baby sitter.

Do either of you have parents close by? They can certainly handle your baby since they raised you.
If he's really set against it, then think about romantic things you can do at home. I wouldn't go anywhere, an upset child could be more difficult to calm at a restaurant than at home.
After you've put your son down at night, have a carpet picnic by candlelight. Have some of your favorite foods prepared in advance so you aren't spending precious sleep time in the kitchen. Champagne or wine if you like. Plenty of finger foods that you can feed each other. You could be wearing lingerie for a romantic interlude after you've eaten. If he wakes up, quickly feed and/or change him. Have a bottle or two ready before hand if you aren't breastfeeding. Quiet romantic music playing in the background. Maybe some linens for easy clean up after.

See if you can reserve a small private "party room" at a local restaurant on a less-crowded night, for just the two of you and the baby. It will keep cigarette smoke away from the baby and allow you two to have a romantic dinner out without getting a sitter.
Or, pack up the baby, get a nice hotel room or go to a bed and breakfast, and order room service and be elegant.

Well the baby is here for a long time, so make plans that include your baby, perhaps a picnic, indoors or out depends on the weather, A surprise visit to some one who hasn't met the bundle of joy, It sounds like your hubby, wants to include baby and not leave him with sitter that alone is worth celebrating good luck

i know the feeling... when my 1 year came around my daughter was 9 months old and i left her with my mother in law and called her every hour asking how she was and we made her bring my daughter to the motel and we had lunch together. i have been married 11 years now and my kids are 8 and 10 and i still wont go very far away ( 45 miles away max so far) but it does get easier and if you are that worried about going without him get a motel and go to an amusement park and do a family day.

why not do something romantic and intimate at home.spoil each other.nice dinner with candles,bubble bath,massages,slow dance naked.in between the baby's feeding time and changing the diapers.i kinda agree with your husband .let this anniversary be an opportunity to reinforce the vows you've made to one another and enjoy being a family.happy anniversary!!!

Is there a drive-in movie theater anywhere near you? Becky's in PA is really great, lots of people bring their newborns there. You can watch a movie and just roll up the windows if the baby starts crying.

Go out to dinner. The baby is just going to sleep anyway.
