Bobby Pillow-




Now, if there is a thing I can't live without, this will be it.
I use it to nurse the baby, to feed him bottle, to let him sit up for a while.
In fact, he still drinks milk while using it.

You can change cover so get a few.

We got him a lot of floor time on this too.

No other gear we have ever use this much, it is an absolutely must have for us.

BUMBO Seat

I found this seat while surfing for a seat, chair anything that I can put my baby into. It has very very good review and work well for baby with good neck control.

Bumbo, I got mine from "The Right Start" but now a day they are everywhere.

My was too mobile so he did not stay in it long, but it is a fabulous thing to have for camping trip (where you need a small booster) and for some place, restaurant or even visiting friends/relatives.

Baby Mobile:

Today, I saw an article in the Cookie Magazine
which showed so many different mobile, they are all so beautiful.

We did not have this reference when we were looking. The onmly two requirement we have is:
- Running on bettries (so we don’t have to stand ther winding it up every two minutes
- Having good classical music, not the funny sound baby music
- Having remote control so we won’t disturb our baby attention

Here is what we endup with Tiny Love Symphony Monile with Remote. It was fun except I do wish we can change the music once in a while.

About the crib:

After so much research on wether we should get a convertible crib, or a standard but rather fancy cribe, here are our pro/con in both cases:

1. Convertible:

Pro: The bed will the only investment you need to make for several years. As you can convert theses from crib to tolder bad to twin bed.

Con: Styles do not come in great varieties here.

2. Basic Crib (including sleigh, standard etc):

• Pro: You can choose some very fancy style, price ranging from $300-$400 to a couple of thousands. The main idea here is you can choose a fancy one to fit your furniature style/decorating theme.
• Also, when the kid grows up, you can choose any of the kiddie/fancy toddler bed that fit the kid room decoration and do not have to stick with a rather baby look.

• Con: The baby will stay there properly less than two years.

We ended up with the second option, we picked out a nice handmade crib that suit our traditional bedroom. And with some luck, we got our on ebay with 1/5 of the original price.

The craftman is incredible, the crib is study, and the handle is easy 2 use-

We saw an AD for baby shoe in America Baby the other day.
Wow, this is THE show we were looking for.

We had tried shoes from GAP/Oshkosh/Caters/Children places. They all either too soft (sock like, too easy to slip off) or too hard for a little one year old, started walking.

These soft shoes are not only cute but soooooo good and comfy, easy for a toldler to walk in.

The shipping are fast at a reasonable rate.
We got ours at : cutebabyshoe.com

We got this stroller when the baby turned 6 months old. It was just too hard to used the broken wheel Pliko stroller.

My requirement was:
- The frame has to be light.
- The stroller has to be very sturdy
- The wheel has to bbe easy to turn and easy to push
- Something I can fold with one hand
And everybody told me there will not be one like that, we got one 
It was a Maclaren - 2006 Techno XT (crimson)

We have never left home without it –

Stroller-

We first got a Peg perego Pliko P3 system, the 2003 model.

It was a brand new item, close out at a store.

The wheel was not working well, the seat bell was all tangled up.

The problem was we start using it alots 2 months after the baby born, which means 6 months after we got the stroller, hence the warranty already expired.

The Baby USA near us where we got this is not very good at helping to service this stroller.

I was very disappointed as I used Pliko for our older twin before, they were great. This is around the late 90s time frame. That was why I went with the same brand again.

This blog is set up to keep all the information my mommie got,
over the baby gears.

We have consumer report book on baby, and we have gone thru plenty of reviews.

Hopefully it will be useful for somebody.
