New from Japan for this Fall - a Hello Kitty 3 piece set and a pair of soft-to-the-touch kid shoes:

Jealous to those who had cute baby girls : (

You might ask - what’s so special about this pillow?

On surface it might not look any different from any other Hello Kitty plush or  cushion you have at home, but the secret is on the inside - where the middle is slightly recessed so that your baby’s head will keep in a nice and round shape while sleeping on it.

Plus, it can also become your baby’s favourite/security item of choice with its washable covers!  Plus portion of the proceeds from the purchase will be donated to ‘Ogyaa Kenkin’, a charity for disabled babies in Japan.  Now that’s multi-purpose!

Both the feeding pillow and this donut pillow can be found at jshoppers.com - which does ship internationally - hurray!

Lately I notice that a lot of Hello Kitty fans are moms, just like myself, so I went out and did a search for some mom and baby friendly Hello Kitty items, maybe some of you will find it helpful!

The first thing I like to introduce is this Hello Kitty Nursing Pillow in a big U shape:

It can be used whether you are breastfeeding or bottle feeding, and by having your child raised from your lap, you are saving your back from a lot of unnecessary stress:

Thinking that it’s way too cumbersome and I don’t really need one beyond the first few months, I gave my (non-Hello Kitty) breastfeeding pillow to a friend.  A little regardful about that decision as my back does hurt a bit from having to carry Mr. Ethan for milk these days (which happens about 3x a day).  Argh~

Maybe just what I need to help Master Ethan to get through his high fever!

Temperature still running high around 103F, hope it will go down soon!

Baby Ethan is running a fever and got really fussy when we tried to measure his temperature with one of the regular ear thermometer.  Wonder if the Hello Kitty variety would make any difference?

Going to give him his 2nd dose of medicine in a few minutes, hopefully the fever will go away soon!

Sooooooooooooooo adorable!!!!!

Would be so cute to use inside a Hello Kitty car  : )  Too bad I am pretty sure it is not authorized for use in Canada!

Finding a toilet for a potty training toddler might not be easy while taking a road trip this summer, so Hello Kitty worked with Combi to come up with a creative idea - a portable potty made with cardboard!

Can be used by both boys and girls, and can hold up to 200 cc of pee pee per specification  : )

This is so cute!!!! 

Pink! 

And a bow + ears on the hat … 

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~~~

This!

Pictured above is Baby Miel, with her custom tonka made by her dad’s company.  How cute!

Miel’s dad also took some other very cute pictures for her at places you won’t expect:

^ sleeping besides an issue of The Economist released the week Baby Miel was born

^ Inside the cockpit of a 757!

Another thing which I would have bought if Master Ethan is a girl …

Oh well, he never really enjoyed his with little lambs hanging anyway …

Available from Target for US$24.99 each.

2008.5.11 will mark the second mother’s day in my life …

It’s still a little early for Master Ethan to know what’s going on, so the ‘burden’ of celebrating this day will fall on YeungBaBa (as with all other important dates) ^____^

While looking for a link to the Hello Kitty digital camera on sanrio.co.jp this morning, I saw that they are having a Mother’s Day pre-order promotion going on!

Necklace + Flowers package:

Flowers only package:

They all look cute but I am not sure if I wanted these for Mother’s Day … maybe all I needed is a one day off without having to do ANYTHING! hohohohohohohohohoho

Here it is!

Ethan’s Hello Kitty playhouse filled with 40 Hello Kitty marked play balls inside (taken at 3 am last night … someone is still jetlagging!) 

It’s complete with a matching Hello Kitty play cell too (see lower left hand corner of the picture), isn’t that cute???

Soon enough Ethan will find out Hello Kitty ain’t meant for him so mommy is trying to use everything she likes at this time before she gets no choice hehehe

Unfortunately Ethan’s Poh Poh decided to get him Mickey Mouse playmats, not Hello Kitty ones or the picture will be perfect … =^.^=
