Apps J Loves {12-18 Months}


We tried to keep J away from screens until she was two, but we're finding out it's nearly impossible!  Although she has yet to watch TV, she was forever crying that we wouldn't let her play with our iPhones.  As a compromise to keep my sanity I dug out an old iTouch that we had but never used and our old tablet that also never gets used and threw some kid friendly apps on them.  She likes both, so we alternate between whichever is charged, but ultimately the battery life on the iTouch is better and it looks very similar to ours, so she ends up using that most.  I must admit, it's kind of adorable to watch her walk around the house and play apps or start music on her iTouch.

Anyways...the purpose of this post...Here are some {free} apps that J likes.  Note: if you have an iTouch put it on 'airplane mode' so they can't click any popups...it's PERFECT!!

I've joined the rest of the world...

This weekend we finally switched from Android phones to iPhones

So now I have Instagram.  I'm MurdocksMama.  Although I've only uploaded one photo...
Who else is on Instagram?  I need to find all of my blogger friends that have been on it for like 1618 years! :)

For the Instagram experts...how do I get all of those cute little bokeh dots like Allison always has?

And for iPhone experts...what are some good age appropriate apps [13mo.] for my daughter?  Or fun/useful apps for me!

And speaking of technology...Blogger not letting me upload photos all of last week was ridiculously annoying so I'm super [like 3 weeks] behind on posting Baby H2 updates...

I'm Going To Let You In On A Little Secret...



BEST APP FOR A MAMA!

Download this app on a smartphone [they make it for both iPhones and Android phones].  Take you phone off sleep mode... set the sensitivity level... and enter the phone number [land line or cell phone] to call.  If your baby cries the phone by the baby will call you to let you know.  

PERFECT for the lake house traveling!  Thank goodness for technology...what did parents do before?! :)
