Graydon's birthday dilemma

After we recieve our hard copy of orders which should be the middle of October, we can call TMO to let them know the date to come pack up our house. We are allowed up to 60 days out before we leave to get our house packed. We could do that, or have two shipments. First shipment would be unaccompanied baggage which would be pots, pans, sheets, ect. Then a few weeks later, TMO will come pack up everything else. I honestly would rather them come get it all at once, so it will be there, or almost, by the time we arrive. The reason we can start 60 days out is because it takes roughly 45-90 days for our shipment to arrive in Europe. In the meantime, we can borrow loaner furniture from the military at our current base and at Aviano. The sooner the shipping, the faster you get it. Sounds good, right? Eh, maybe. 60 days out from the time we leave is October 20ish. Whoa. Yes, the October that is next month! Seriously?! NEXT MONTH?! Umm what the heck am I supposed to do about Graydon's birthday? We already have to tweak Christmas, now Graydon's 1st birthday, too? We were planning to get him a scoot along metal bi plane that Kevin and I both have fallen in love with. Do we give it to him early? Wait until we arrive in Aviano to give it to him? What do we do? I like the first idea better, but the whole giving it to him to get it packed up doesn't really fly either. What about his birthday party? Every child deserves a party. Right? RIGHT! I can let guests know Graydon does not need anything just to help him celebrate his big 1st year of life, but if you absolutely want to give him a present (because you always have those overly sweet friends and family that give anyway), make it money or a giftcard from a store that ships to APO addresses? Is that tacky? He can't actually get presents because again, all our house and toys will be packed up already and on their way to Italy. There is however, a Toys R Us in Austria. Should I write this on his invitations in case someone wants to give him a giftcard? Oy. What to do. What to do.
