Bebe Au Lait Double Bib: Like Four Bibs in One

Bebe au Lait Reversable bib

From Bebe au Lait, creators of the most famous and style-savvy nursing covers for chic mothers, comes this reversible, Double Bib.

Applying the same winning formula of pairing exceptionally beautiful prints with hard-working fabrics, the bib has already been awarded the iParenting award. And it’s no wonder. The bib’s unique design offers you four bibs in the place of just one. It’s the kind of thing that is a bit hard to describe in writing, but basically when one side gets dirty, you can cross the clean side over it allowing for a second bib. The piece stays in place with a magnetic closure. When that side gets dirty, just turn it around. When that third side gets dirty, just cross the other side over it again. Voila — four bibs!

Toy Fair 2009: Mickey’s Magic Choo Choo

All aboard with Mickey Mouse with Mickey’s Magic Choo Choo ($50). I’m totally into this new train toy that lays its own tracks, just like on the Disney special episode “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Rides the Choo-Choo Express!” When you press the button on the train, it rolls forward and lays pieces of track and rides over them and pick it up. When turn the crank, the train will revert to classic train mode, riding over a set track. The train plays phrases, the Choo Choo song and train sound effects. The set includes ten pieces of track, train engine, one car, two signs and a Mickey figure.

Joel Madden Totes His Tot

Ramey

Leaving a Beverly Hills birthday party on Sunday, Joel Madden was snapped carrying daughter Harlow Winter Kate — all dressed up in a blue jumper and hair clip — back to the car.

Earlier that day, the Good Charlotte rocker, 29, announced that 13-month-old Harlow will become a big sister later this year — he and partner Nicole Richie are expecting their second child!

Although no due date was announced, we think it’ll be a late summer/early fall arrival if Nicole is just out of her first trimester.

Toy Fair 2009: Dance with Me Dora!

Little girls will dance up a storm with Dance with Me Dora ($50) a new interactive dancing doll from Fisher-Price that will be available in July. Inspired by the “Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom” special airing in Fall 2009, she’s dressed in the dress she wears in the movie and has two modes that are activated by her crystal necklace. In the first mode, Dora dances, spins and walks on her tippy toes in one of four dances. In the second mode, your child can follow along as Dora leads.

Turning 1 year old is quite the milestone, and everyone has their own way of celebrating. From small family gatherings to large kid-filled blowouts, it’s up to the parents to decide how they’ll commemorate the first anniversary of their child’s birth.

And Nancy Grace‘s twins John David and Lucy Elizabeth turned 1 at a Manhattan early childhood development center surrounded by friends and family.
