Decorated Home For Christmas

At this time we should have ben already in the new house but as there have been a lot of problems we are still living in here. Momichan is still little but anyway this is her very first Xmas (last year she was just 1 month old) so I want she can feel it's a special period and want to show her decorated house, special X'mas music, presents and everything.
I already had put some decoratons here and there but finally this morning, hubby could go to buy the X'mas tree and took home so we could decorate it and put on the high blue cupboard ... if we don't do, either Momichan or the cat would destroy :)
Already we have so many presents to put under and around the tree (just 90 cm hight) and Momi was curious about all the coloured packets with ribbons and stickers.
I have bought two poinsettia plants, we call it "the X'mas star plant" and also decorated the kitchen with candles and special tin X'mas cookies box and in the entrance we already hnged the epifany sockets ^^

桃子ちゃん、おたんじょうび おめでとう！

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMICHAN !!!

おたんじょうび　おめでとう　桃ちゃん！

Today our little baby is 1 year old ^O^

It seems so strange to realize that alredy one year has gone since I came back from hospital with baby Momichan in my arms, she was so little and delicate, always hungry and with eyes closed, slept all day long and awakened only to eat HAHA now she sleeps only during the night and an hour during the day, eats four times breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner plus a milk bottle during the night), she has learnt so many things, almost walks by herself and communicate with cryes, shouts, laughs and strange words she invents ^^
For lunch we decided to go to granny to have a family party.
Granny was cooking food and when we arrived we just had to prepare the table. We had taken all the presents for Momichan with us and also ome baby food in case Momichan would not eat normal one. While we were waiting for last things to be ready I gave lunch to Momi, tagliatelle with cream and spinach, she eated all and after when my mum tok our food ont he table she also tried, eated potatoes, peppers and a little bit of roasted meat butshe seemed to appreciate more the grilled peppers.
After that we had the cake, a special one with Anpanman アンパンマン on it, I ordered at the sweet shop, I had searched on internet a suitble image and printed in colours to make the "patissiére" print on the cake and that's the result ^^


(Momi's daddy in the morning is always showing her cartoons and baby songs and little Anpanman films, she dances at the music and appreciate it, loves the character) and the open of the presents.
Here Momichan is having her cake, she wanted to carve and make slices HAHAHA :) we lighted the candle but she can't understand how to blow off the candle so I made, she was astonished even if she saw last month me doing the me and her daddy the month before, however this time she eated the cake and seems to like.

Here are the presents we disposed over the fireplace as soon as entered in the house, ready to be opened after lunch ^^

Poor Momichan she is still so little that doesn't realize so much what is a birthday and the meaning of presents, she had a berret red with a white pon pon and image of Winnie Pooh, a pelouche and a wooden elk she can seat on and balance, she smiled when I seated her on it.
I wonder what willit be the second b'day next year, maybe she will understand more and I hope we will have possibility to decorate home with ballons and have music (she will walk) and special hats and a giant "happy birthday" written on a paper hanging from the wall and other decorations. After lunch she was sleepy, her daddy started to play chess with granny while I tried to make Moi sleep taking her out in the garden but she fall asleep only when I dresseed her to go back home and put on the stroller, she went on sleeping once we arrived home, I put on her bed and relaxed a little.
Do not know what she will remember of this day anyway we have records, fotos and films to show her in the future :)

Hipp Order Arrived !!!

Today in the afternoon arrived at home the Hipp order I made a few days ago. It was unespected because it was said I would receive in about two weeks ^^

Hipp has many websites in nearly all Europe and also outside but not in all countries you can find many product choice, in Italy for instance the number of foods you can find is simply ridiculous but in Switzerland you can find whatever you want (when we went to Lugano the 19 october, I bought in a supermarket a tee and two vases of food and Momichan lovd a lot) and in Germany there is a on line shop sending luckily in all Europe at very convenient prices and you can find really a ton of items, a part from baby food, you can have milkboxes, bibs, milk bottles all personalized Hipp (see foto) T-Shirts and plates, spoon set, pelouches, creams, oils, a complete line for pregnant women, tissues to clean babyes bottoms and also boxes to contain them, books, music for babies, a complete food line starting from milk (but in Germany they not only have normal milk like here in Italy, following and kid one (1,2 and 3) but they have special milk for particular cases or allergies and another one special for the night, the also sell veggies, desserts with yogurt, muesly or just fruit, tea, fruit juices also in pet bottles half liter easy to order and pour in the baby bottles (cost is just 0,99 EUR), muesly starting from babies and ending with 3 year old kids, snack barrets, bisquits, rice crackers, complte menus starting 4 months, 8 months, 12 months, 1 year and a half and 15 months, bio pasta, a complete line for Good Night with special milk, foods, fruits, beverages and menus so that the baby has the right calories and food perfectly balanced to sleep well and a special tea to calm nervous babies (see foto)

When I opened the box Momichan was curious to see what was inside and when I said her it was all for her she made a big smile and started to look at all the items I was putting on the table, foods, juices, milkbottle, milkbox, bib, special milk ... I prepared the table for her with a new food (pasta with veggies and ham) and a dessert, strawberries and yogurt and poured a little of juice in her bottle. Momichan eated everything, the entire glass of dessert (200 gr) and all pasta (other 200 gr), drank all juice and smiled at me happily ^^

It was nearly a week she didn't have much appetite but I guess new foods will work ok ^^
After dinner I made her a shower, put her cream on, dressed her with a soft clean pijama and put her o bed, then went to the kitchen to prepare the milkbottle for the night using the special night milk and new hipp milkbottle and soon she drank all and fall asleep.
Good night little Momichan ... :)

Momichan Walks !

Today our little baby made me a sourprise, she was holding in her hands (both hands) some toys and all of a sudden she started to walk !
She just made two steps and after with all the calmness of the world she lowered on her knees, seated on the floor ad smiled. I embraced her, put up again and again she made two steps !

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Allerhand - Tara Tote Bag

The Allerhand Tara is a roomy tote-bag style bag which does comfortable double duty as a baby and parents bag.
It has three external pockets, one open and two with zippers, to keep your belongings immediately convenient. Undo the draw-string covering which keeps your belongings safe and private, and you'll find another 3 large pockets, which due to the generous length of the bag, are easily large enough to store 2-3 nappies plus a change of clothes for your little one. There are also two bottle pockets, pen holders and a mobile phone pouch. Tara also has some accessories: an attached purse which is a great place to keep extra change, nappy pins, or even some band-aids, and a cute little "photo album" which can display two photos - a photo of your baby, your partner or whatever you want to see and keep with you would be great in here!
The Tara has handles for carrying as well as straps for going over your shoulder or the stroller handles and when your nappy-toting days are over, the Tara would make a roomy and attractive bag sure to be admired which you'll be able to use every day. Tra bag is available in black, camel or dark brown.

Size: Approximately 41cm x 30cm x 17cm

I bought in black for my baby, fed up of all normal bags which are not really elegant if you have some official occasion such as a wedding for instance where we have to go on saturday (my cusin gets married) or just if you want to take a walk dressed a little more elegant than the sporty things I always have to use (since a couple of years I have become a little "puffy" so is not easy for me to find something cute to wear that makes me feel and look pretty, I always wear sweaters and comfy pants but this morning I found at the open market a pair of jeans and a feather jacket unusual colours for me always dressed in black (jacket is brown and jeas are blue) which are sporty and confortable enough but elegant at same time so that I can go out with my baby finally normally dressed having the look of a mother rather than a baby sitter :)
