Momichan & Winnie Pooh

This morning I made a foto to Momichan and her pelouche ... err... is mine since long time, I bought it in a Disney Store so much time ago I do not even remember and now I will give to her.
She has slept all night well and this morning she woke up late, around 10.30 so we could sleep a little more ^^



Here is Winnie Pooh ^^
I bought it somewhere during my bike travels and took with me everytime when riding my bike, at that time I was still alone so everytime I wanted I rode my Ninja bike everywhere and took Pooh everytime I had to sleep out at night ^______________^

SAYOUNARA ^^

Winnie Pooh & Friends

Here some images for you of Winnie Pooh and his friends ^^

SAYOUNARA ^^

highchair

Today I was making and experiment, Momichan was nervous but I had to prepare my lunch so I tied to put her on her new highchair. At start she wept because it was new and she falled aside but after I put a cushion and the little table I can hook at the highchair and put onto her toys, bottle and succhietto and finally she smiled and calmed, I also gave her bottle seated on the special chair, here she is ^^

SAYOUNARA ^^

Gloves ...

In the fternoon we went at mum's house and as everytime we returned our home when is dark and cold around six.
Momichan is always keeping her hands out of the blanket so I tried to put her gloves on, seems she like but she kept fist closed inside ^^

Ovetto & Crib

When mum gave us the new stroller as present for Momichan before X'mas, I felt happy but soon thought it was not the righ model because it is heavy (9,5 kg) and not really easy to handle also because everytime we needed to put it in the car we did not succeed until one day I unhooked the stroller away from the base to have it light (she is still so little that stroller is not the right thing to use now so that's because we bought the new crib to hook on it)
We discovered that in this way it's fantastic and in time we learned how to open and close it in velocity and now everytime we need to put in the car is no problem, if we go out Momichan is inside ovetto or inside the crib, we unhook from the base and put Momichan inside car and ase stroller inside the trunk.
Here below you can see the two versions.
First foto Momichan is inside ovetto in mum's garden (we call it sport way and comparing with means of travel we say "let's take the bike"), when is so sunny she wants to stay seated and look all around and quite never sleep until we arrive to mum's house.



In this foto instead Momichan is inside the crib. This way we call comfy and compared to means of trave we say "let's take the car".
When we need to stay longer outside home or have to get out early we put her in the crib so she can sleep ans stay comfy and in this case inside the hooked bag there is a big supply of bottles, bibs, diapers, face and body cremes, wet towels, toys and a soft blanket.


(ITALIANO)
Quando mamma ci regalò per Momi il passeggino nuovo prima di Natale, ero molto felice ma poi pensai che non era il modello giusto, era pesante e lei piccina com'era nel passeggino anche se sdraiata non stava comoda, c'erano spifferi e dovevo usare una copertona del ikea per tenerla calda e infagottarla tutta cosa che lei detesta.
Un giorno però sono riuscita a levare il passeggino e tenere la base nuda e cosi ho scoprto che non solo è più leggero ma che entra pure in macchina senza nessun problema cosi che adesso possiamo andare dove vogliamo e abbiamo sempre con noi la ase che possiamo attaccare al ovetto o alla navicella che stanno comodamente in macchina e si posono agganciare alle cinture.
Nella prima foto Momi è nel ovetto nel giardino di mamma, noi buffamente la chiamiamo "la versione sportiva" e diciamo "oggi prendiamo la moto" :-D la usiamo quando lei è sveglia che è una bella giornata e lei ha voglia di guardare in giro, mentre per la navicella che è la versione comoda, diciamo "oggi prendiamo la familiare", la usiamo quando ci dobbiamo alzare presto e uscire o quando abbiamo in programma di stare tanto fuori nel qual caso nella borsa agganciata c'è una bella scorta di biberon, bavaglini, pannolini, creme, salviette, giochini e una coperta supplementare.

The Spoon ...

Momichan is nearly 4 months old and in a little time she will have to start to eat her first normal food so to get her feel comfy with the spoon she will have to use instead of the bottle we made her play with a special spoon of Chicco made of plastic and silicone.
At first she looked at it in a strange way but after she was "trying" it, putting in her mouth, touching it, playing with it, hope will feel comfortable with it when it be the right moment, do you think she will ?
for the moment here she is on her chair with the spoon in her hands :)

SAYOUNARA ^_____^

Happy Baby ^^

Today we were at mum's house, Momichan has had two naps and her bottles so she was ok but anyway around five o'clock guess she wanted to go home because she started weeping and going mad, she was extremely nervous so we said goodbye to granny and we got out walking towards house.
As soon as we arrived home I changed Momi's diaper (just a little of pipi non much and she was dry not wet), changes the clothing ad put on Momi something more fresh, (our home is quite hot) then I layed her down on the sofa.
How do you think she was feeling ? look at that foto ....



SAYOUNARA ^^

Going Patisserie

Today was in Italya the day of the Women and normally we use to give mimosa to all the female friends and to mum and have a lunch with a dessert so we went to mum's house and before we passed to the ice cream shop to take some "patisserie and we also found some cakes that were really nice (I thought I will order one for a "compimese" - every 19th of the month we party Momochan like a birthday - )
Here is the cake we saw

Momichan was in her stroller inside ovetto and she was quietly sleeping as ever ^^

Here you can see Momichan better ^^

SAYOUNARA ^^

Dreaming ...

I do not know really if babies dream already when they are so small because we do not have any record about things happened before 6 ears old but anyway, what ever Momichan is dreaming, makes her smile ^^

^___________^

Pinga Bento

I was so angry that I made a second bento and this time was successful ^^
here it is PINGA BENTO ^^



A bed of rice lays under carrot flowers with cheese center and snow peas leaves, Pinga is made of cheese, beack is carrot and details are painted in black with food colours.
Two slices of carrots act as food divider and lettuce is substituting paper cups and containing quails eggs and wiener ^^

SAYOUNARA ^^

sampoo wo shimasu

I wanted to stay home because it was windy today but Momichan was not calm at all, do not know if she already feels abandoned when daddy is not home (he went out to work) but she was weeping so much today so as it was sunny I decided to go out for a walk.
I dressed Momichan, took a blanket and ovetto because I thought that if she could look around she would calm down, she is a curious baby, I also prepared two bottles of milk and we were out.
We walked around a little then decided to go to my mum, a it was nice day eventually Momichan has so many things special to see and here is Momichan today ^^


Later in the afternoon Momo's daddy reached us to my mum's house.
Today was really special for Momichan, going granny we passed the little bridge under which flows some water and she saw the ducks, then in mum's garden she saw the big bunny jumping aroun and she even touched it, also my sister has koi's in enormous pools and Momi saw them, they are very big, some reach 90 cm and when we came ear them, the fishes came to the surface opening and shutting mouth as to say "hello" and to make us touch them, they love to be caressed ! Momichan was astonished totally ^^


SAYOUNARA ^^

Winnie Pooh Bento

Today I wanted so much to prepare a bento but everything went totally wrong starting from my fantasy: didn't know what to do, this is my problem, recently I do nt have ay fantasy at all.
Also I didn't have the camera so I had to wait until hubby come home and it was already dark so foto is horrible. I didn't have any ingredients, this is my most horrible bento ever.



SAYOUNARA ^^

nap time ^^

(Momichan in her crib. She likes to sleep there during the day because when we are at home the crib has two plastic pices attached under that make the crib waving like beeig on a boat in the sea)

Momichan is no longer sleeping all day long as she was doing two month ago, from midday to four o'clock now she's awake. Little by little she starts to sleep more during the night and a little less during the day but anyway after lunch she sleeps a couple of hours and in the vening around 8.00 PM after dinner she sleeps again, sometimes she awakes again to have her meal, sometime she goes on until 3.00 AM in the morning ^^
Just a few minutes ago she took a nap but she slept only 10 minutes. Here she is in her crib ^^

After that foto she awaked and I had to hug her, guess she was not comfy or felt bad or wanted to be hugged I do not know but anyway, after a while shewas in my arma she fall asleep again and this time quite a lot.
We had to go out so I just zipped the Winnie Pooh sac in which she was, covered the crib and took her out, she continuosly slept until 2 hours later when she awaked to have her bottle that of course I had taken with us ^^

桃子, one, two, three ...

Momoko 桃子 is growing fast and month by month she changes something of her appearance, even though we are not able to see the changes because we are living togather so here you can see and judge yourself how much she had grown and changed from the first day to now ^^

Here is Momoko 桃子 the day of her birth 19 november 2008, 4060 gramms - 52 cm tall
sheis in hospital inside her crib, she was staying 24/24 hours in the room ith me except from 6.00 am to 10.00 am she was at the nursery to be changed diapers, cleaned and visited


Here is Momoko 桃子 1 month old, 19 december 2008
Poor baby, she was covered for a month by some foruncoli but after she recovered ^^


Here is Momoko 桃子 2 months old, 19 january 2009 - 5060 gramms - 56 cm tall
She as learned how to keep the bottle herself ^________^

Here is Momoko 桃子 3 months old, 20 february 2009 - 5600 gramms - 58 cm tall
Now she learns to smile and she does pretty often ^^

Apart from the hair she is loosing a little and the face that is becoming more an egg than the apple she was before, I cannot see an other difference ^^

Momichan's toy basket ^^

The other day we went Ikea store to buy some items for Momichan, and I also took a basket to contain all the pelouches of the baby and them comfy near the sofa to play when she's awake.
Problem was that dust could easily enter in it from everywhere so I decided to make a kind of lining using a piece of cotton I had in my special cupboard.
Te result is a basket nicer than before and here it is, with all the toys inside, Momichan loves to have all theese near her so can choose what she wants ^^


You can see the little elefant with the ears she can bite, the duck carillon, a puppet and so many others ^^


(ITALIANO)
L'altro giorno siamo andati al Ikea a comprare un paio di cose per Momichan e tra le altre ho reso anche un cestino per avere a portata di ano tutti i suoi giochetti e pelouche quando ne ho bisogno ma c'era un problema, si sarebbero riempiti di polvere da tutte le parti cosi ho pensato di fare uan odera con un pezzo di stoffa che avevo nel mio armadio speciale con tutti i pezzi di stoffa colorati che trovo e ripongo per le occasioni che servono.
Momi adora il suo cestino, cosi può scegliere i giochi da sola quando vuole ^^
Potete vedere l'elefantino dentarolo con le orecchie mordicchiabili, l'anatra carillon col becco rosso, un alce marionetta e vari altri ^^

Ikea pelouche

In the past, whenever I thought to have a baby, always I have thought I would have bought him/her pelouche, Lego, books and toys that would develop the fantasy rather than electronic robots of every kind of stupid things that would be used once and after forgotten in a corner alone so I was obviously really happy as soon as I discovered Ikea for children ^^
At the first floor of the store, (1 km from my house) recently enlarged and biggest store in Italy ever with his new 33,000 square meters, there is a large place for the kiddies with every kind of pelouche so soft and colorful, story books (norvegian and classic ones) with many images and colours, little trains and wooden pieces to make the train run, pastels, paints and paper, scissors, rattlers and little toys for very small babies, cristal glasses (in plastic) and potteries for tea for girls, pearls to form images, make bracelets or whatever fantasy suggest and so many other items.
Nice is that every year there is something new, so we can always have new books or characters to play what we want.
I started when Momichan was still inside, around the 7th month, to go and buy items we would use togather, I bought a bunny and a little bear (classic), a little train, pearls to create, pencils and a book Momi will have to colour the images.
After a little time new products came, a crocodile and the book of her story and new pelouches related to the world of fantasy, mices, frogs, cows all dressed in a strange way, among which I found this one ^^

























It's a frog extremely soft, about 25 cm height, the dress you can take away and leave it nude, she posesses a couple of wings like the fairies and a friendly smile. For the moment Momichan plays with Toponzo but I guess she will play also with all the other things in a few months ^^

In passato ongi volta che ho pensato di avere un bimbo ho sempre immaginatoche non gli avrei mai comprato tutti quei giochi elettronici costosi che di solito i bambini usano una volta e poi buttano in un angolo, ho sempre pensto che al mio bimbo avrei comprato cose che stimolano la fantasia come i giochi che ho avuto io, i Lego, puzzles, (beh io avevo anche 9 Barbie HEHE e le ho ancora in una scatola) tanti libri di fiabe e di altre cose a seonda del età, )adesso ci sono libri per bambini bellissimi che quando ero piccola io non c'erano), pelouche e tutte quelle cose che si possono usare miliardi di volte e ogni volta in modo diverso anche se adoro alcuni giochini elettronici dabimbi comei telefonini delal chicco coi tastoni luminosi che insegnano inglese e i numeri e lampeggiano e suonano e cose del genere.
Detto questo sono stata felicissima quando ho scoperto il reparto Ikea dei bambini, il negozio Ikea sta a 900 metri da casa nostra e dopo la ricostruzione da zero (hanno abbattuto il vecchio negozio e rifatto tutto da zero parcheggio compreso) è diventato il negozio più grande d'Italia coi suoi 33,000 mila metri quadri ^^
Nel suo reparto bambini si trovano un sacco di libri di fiabe con tante figure e immagini colorate, matite pastelli, pennelli, rotoli di carta lunghissimi, servizi da the e biccheiri di cristallo (ma fatti di plastica) per far prendere il thè alle bambole, micro borse per giocare alle signore, perline da infilare per creare qualunque cosa, trenini in legno con le piste e pezzi aggiuntivi per farne sempre una diversa a seconda del umore, cavallini a dondolo e mille altre cose ^^
Quando ero incinta di 7 mesi non ho resistito a comprare a Momi alcune cose al Ikea, le perline, una pista e un trenio con vagoni aggiunti, alcuni pelouche ta i quali il classico coniglietto e orsetto in versione mini, questi sono alti circa 25 cm e adatti a una bimba piccina (ma ho anche un altro orsetto sempre Ieka un pò più grande per quando avrà almeno 2 anni), 4 topolini di diverso colore tra i quali c'è Toponzo, il preerito da Momichan forse perkè è morbidissimo e piccolino e questa buffa raga che ha gambe lunghe e un abitino che si può togliere completamente e lasciarla nuda, è dotata anche di un paio di ali da fatina e fa parte di una buffa collezione tutta di animaletti fantasia topini, gattini, conigletti e ranocchie ^^

Going Ikea

Today a friend had to come on visit to meet Momichan so we went to Ikea which is the only shop open on sunday here in the nearby, to buy some sweets to offer her because our fridge was nearly empty.
Momichan was happy to go around, we took her ovetto so she could see around and we arrived at Ikea store. First thing we went to, was kid toys, peloche and books (I will have to buy some of the books, stories are fantastic and they have a lot of coloured images).
Momichan was so happy when I showed her a duck whose neck you can pull and emits a cute music (it is a carillon) and the other, which I hope will become shortly her best friend now, is an elephant with special ears she can bite expecially now her teeth are growing, also theese two pelouches are small enough for her to hold and use right now ^^



















(click on the images to see them bigger)

After half an hour we got home, friend would arrive at 15,00 o clock so we preared sweets on the kichen table and I changed diaper to Momichan and gave her her bottle to eat.
When friend arrived we discovered she hat taken a present for Momi, 5 rattlers pelouche, cow, sheep, zebra, monkey and a mouse ^^
Momi was happy about them but was too tired to paly and was half asleep, when friend after one hour went away she fall completely asleep.
Now she had her bottle and still is sleeping a little, I will give a wash at the pelouches and put them all togather in a new basket bought at Ikea store on purpose to contain her her little toys ^^

Winnie Pooh Bento Tools

Momichan is still so small but she has already bento and tools, some of them I bought on purpose for her, others are mine but we will exchange, if she wants she has nearly 200 bento of mine she can use but the first ones I will give her, belong to the character Winnie Pooh.
Here it is, her small collection, first fotos are two small bento one of which is shaped in the head of the bear ^^











Another bento, bigger in size and two tier with three small faces of Pooh decorating it and his matching kinchaku. On the right, a medium onigiri box.










Also she has food dividers and flag pics to make bento more kawaii ^^
(click on the image to see it bigger)










Furikake container and Pooh veggie cutters ^^











Soy sauce bottles in the shape of Pooh and sauce boxes complete the set. The sauce boxes are big enough to contain small portions of yogurt, apple pudding or other things like that.










Foto on the left is to make onigiri, right one is to make sandwiches ^^
(click on the image to see it bigger)










She has also two sauce boxes with spreader and two silicone cups in the shape of Pooh to divide different foods inside the bento box.










And of course an egg mold (bought in Japan in march 2008) and various tool set with fork, spoon and hashi ^^










SAYOUNARA ^^

Momichan & Winnie Pooh

I don't know why but Winnie Pooh is the most beloved bear ever from all children and Momichan isn't different at all ^^
Looking at her dressens and pelouche I discovered she has many things of Winnie Pooh and for now he is the only bear she knows a apart a little one from Ikea which is the only one small enough to embrace.
Here is Momichan with a shirt of the little bear (foto is dated 20th january)

Nearly everyday now, when we go out, she wears a sleeping sac instead of her jacket that she hates, so is easier to take on and take away without making her weep everytime (she hates to be dressed to go out) and this sac we bought is of Winnie Pooh, she loves it because is terribly soft and is so comfy really, is quite big so I guess she can still use next september also if she will be bigger than now ^^

Also Momichan has a Winnie Pooh bento box, so little and cute with kinchaku to take away, she will need so much time to use, at least 8 or 9 months but as soon as she will able to bite and eat carrots or fruits we will organise small pic nic in mum's garden ^^


SAYOUNARA ^^
