Let's talk Toys.

We are searching for a couple of good educational, durable toys to keep the kiddos busy while using their imagination and interacting with each other. I have two on the list that are now a must... And a couple of other I'm thinking we may get too.

I like this one a lot, it's the Wonderworld Wooden City Beads available at Target.com I wish they had it in stores :(. This should were the super saucer is.


Tent-Tunnel

I think this one could help me keep Gabriel from crawling up the side table up to the sofa and falling down the sofa, well at least now he makes some noises to ask me to come take him down so he can go again, yeah he it's quite the Little Boy at just 9 months, what can be next, lol! I'm not sure how good these things are but I'm hoping it's durable they are on sale at Toys R us for $49



Angie's Kitchen.
This is what she has been asking for lately, "I want a kitchen and a car", she says. This is the kitchen I picked out for her they have it at Toys R us and Target.com. I think we will get it at Toys R us if they have in store, Target doesn't have them in store :(

(update) we actually bought the kitchen on eBay, it's very sturdy and we weren't expecting it to be so good! Angie and even Gabriel love to play with it cooking and washing dishes or just opening and closing the doors (Gabriel). I paid $159 with free shipping, which I thought was very good because of the high shipping in other places.


For the car, it's not just any car her car has to have doors and she is picky about the colors and oh yeah two seats one for her and one for "Gordo" that Gabriel :). This will be my husband's choice together with Angie.

I'm not into spoiling my child buying lots of toys and such, but this is the reason while we agreed to buy those things and a couple of other good educational/entertaining toys. Up until now they have mostly what people give them as gift, and we buy a couple here and there, but I'm ready to throw out all the small toys!

Not a toy but this is for mommy!

I got it put it here so I don't forget when my husband ask what I want for anniversary gift, I always, always forget when my birthday or holidays or anniversary, I can't think of something I want until is too late, duh!

AngelPack LX (Testing 2 )

I was inspired by many carriers that I like. I picked out the feaures I liked best and put them all together to design the AngelPack LX.
The arm cut out "holes" are inspired by the Baby Bjorn. The head rest-support was inspired by The First years baby carrier. The waist belt it's one of the most compact belts in the soft structure carriers market, it's aproximately 4" wide and its divided into 3 sections so that it shapes around the waist.


There is a sleeping hood for taller babies and toddlers, it supports their heads while sleeping.
The body is tall to provide some head support even when the hood it not in use.
The selection of fabric is gorgeous and very diverse.
You can find the newest version at www.PreggyandBaby.com

He is Walking!!!!!!


Gabriel is walking!!! He just turned 9 months. I knew he would do this early but didn't expected to be so soon, he is already doing 3-4 steps and trying to chase his big sister. Angie goes nuts when he walks, she cheers him up! Just as I do :)

I think he feels the need to catch up to his big sister and that is going to make him learn things faster. I just enjoy so much their beautiful relationship, they can't get enough of each other and make each other laugh even when they aren't in a good mood. I love my kiddos!

AngelPack LX!



At last I'm "almost" finish with this one, the LX AngelPack. This one is #13 of all the designs and testing I've done over the past two plus years. I have added a couple of things to make it a bit different and added some other that seem to be essential and comfortable.
For the past two year I had been working on a carrier with buckles. first I worked on the body shape, however there has been so many changes and some new products that were launched in that time that are similar to what I had designed, for that reason I felt the need to redesign the body shape, I'm so glad! I love the shape of the LX, it seems to work well with little ones and older ones.
We are getting ready to start production on this one! I can't wait to start playing with different fabrics and textures. I love the design!


Last Saturday I even got to test it with my cousin's baby "Christian" he is 3 months old and 13 pounds... We took some pictures and they look precious.

Cool Bibs!


This is another little project that I've been working on.

The Bibs are very cool + yummy. I love how the came out.
I'm using designer's fabrics paired with a soft minkee back and a hiden layer of (secret) for absorbensy. I began making on these after much thinking and waiting to work on the design. Making the pattern was super easy! with a sheet of paper and a pair of seasors.

They are available for sale in Canada now at www.elephant-shoe.ca this is a boutique full of cool things for mommy and baby.
