Pampers Hello Baby & Hello World Parenting Apps

Having a baby is the most wonderful and most challenging event you may ever have in your life. Everything turns upside-down and for the rest of your life you have responsibilities that never ever go on hold. Even me telling you this will not fully prepare you for the changes you have coming up. It’s something that just has to be experienced and enjoyed.

The brand new Pampers Hello World Baby Memories App is available now for free download on itunes for  iPad, iTouch or iPhone and it’s pretty cute. Makes me really wish I had this when Zoe and Miles were babies.  

 

The excellent features on the new Hello World app include:

HelloWorldFirst we have Growing Baby, This part of the app allows you to take daily photos of your baby then pulls them all together in a time-lapse video so you can see how quickly your baby is growing right before your eyes! The best part is you can use this feature to create your own personal parenthood story. You amazingly start with the baby bump, then the growth of your baby’s facial features, hands, feet, first tooth, etc. Growing Baby reveals in a remarkable way how precious babyhood really is.

Then Albums, This allows you to conveniently organize and arrange, by category, your family’s photos directly on your ipad, itouch or iphone device. I’m never organized so this would save my life, how about yours?

And Finally Making Memories, this is a one-touch sharing capability that allows you to take photo and videos, then quickly upload them to Facebook, Flickr, Twitter or Youtube at the touch of a button. Sharing made easy!

Now the other new and outstand parenting app by Pampers is the the Hello World Baby Memories app. This app is part of a series of apps called Pampers Hello Parenting Apps which also includes the Hello Baby Pregnancy Calendar. Which is pretty spectacular I must say.

PregnancyCalendar
HelloBabyThe Pampers Hello Baby Pregnancy Calendar allows you to explore life-sized images (iPad only; images in iPhone and iTouch are not life-sized) of a baby in the womb from week 4 up to week 40. You will learn about the stages of pregnancy and make small discovers about a baby’s development. I had to look at a book and use a count down device that was NOT IN COLOR. So this is fascinating to me.

Did you know that a baby could respond to sounds by week 28? The "womb translator" feature allows you to record your voice, then play it back or share it with friends in the tone that your baby hears it.

So these are two really cool parenting apps to help you with reminders about your coming and already here baby.

10 Disney Digital Books for Young iPad App Readers

Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue—A Magical Adventure

Tinker Bell is trapped on the mainland! Find out how Vidia, Rosetta, Silvermist and the other fairies use their talents to rescue Tink in this magical storybook app.

Both Miles and Zoe are greatly enjoying Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue. We have the movie and watching them listen to the story is better than the movie. There is an interactive part to it where Zoe believes if she blows on the iPad she can make more fairy dust appear. Readers can control the magic by “blowing” fairy dust into the scene with an exciting new interactive feature. Plus, animated surprises throughout the story will be sure to delight fairy fans! I love watching her make the Fairy Dust. She gets so excited every time.

TRON: Legacy The Complete Story

Sam Flynn is the rebellious 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn, a computer programmer who disappeared when Sam was just a child. When Sam looks into his father’s disappearance, he finds himself pulled into the same world of brutal programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for almost 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidante, Quora, Kevin Flynn and his son Sam must embark on a life-and-death voyage across a visually-stunning cyber universe to put an end to the evil Clu and his reign of this digital world.

I was worried that Tron Legacy the Complete story would be too scary for Miles. It’s not scary, this one has the book option where you can read it to yourself, or you can watch the mini videos of the story come alive listening aloud. Miles prefers the videos since I’m not always available to read it to him.

My kids really enjoy looking at interactive books on the iPad. Before this new app, Miles and Zoe would play with the Sesame Street book, The Monster at the end of this book. It’s quite a bit of fun being able to tickle Grover, and knock down a wall of bricks.
