Stopping for directions as I said was never one of my strong suits, but enter the age of GPS and now I just need to know a few key pieces of information and I really should get where I’m going. Well what happens when you don’t have those pieces of information like where’s a nearby restaurants that might have a changing table for kiddo, or a nice place to grab a bite to eat, or the best yet where to get gas. Not just gas stations but this little wonder app will show you the cheapest gas prices as well.

Disclaimer: TeleNav supplied the prize for this giveaway as disclosed in an earlier post I am compensated by being part of the Navigator and Chief program but all opinions are my own.
Slide-a-ma-jig [iTunes] is a very creative app where your child can build their own monsters.
There are dozens of monsters to choose from making this app being able to create thousands of crazy cartoons.
On their website you could download a PDF [Link] have your kids draw their own monsters and play the game on paper. Its a wonderfully creative outlet and hopefully you can play along too.
Marc loves it! I shake the iPhone and it creates a random monster and I usually add my own sound effects and Marc does a gut busting laugh. Invite your kids to make stories with the characters they create and give them names. I feel that this little wonder app can really push the creative powers of a child.

Lately there has been a lot of talk of the soon to be announce Apple iSlate and depending on price point I will or will not get one, but let us stick to the topic at hand my iPhone (3G) and the apps that I love for the baby and for me.
There are a ton of things you can do with the default apps installed already you can download music for babies or you download TV shows for your iPhone right from the iTunes store. Here are a couple of my favorites on the music front we have a clear winner with The Laurie Berkner Band (Stay Tuned as I have a full Laurie Berkner post planned for Friday alone) her most popular album is Victor Vito [ iTunes | Amazon ] and her newest is Rocketship Run [ iTunes | Amazon ] and on the TV front Yo Gabba Gabba [ iTunes | Amazon has select DVDs and Digital Video files (wont work on iPhones/iPods)]
Taking first place for me in the apps for babies is…
They also make a wonderful Itsy Bitsy Spider [ iTunes ] and Old McDonald [ iTunes ]
These are all interactive where things pop, move, fly, and make sounds when tapped. I also have a new favorite which is Free is Baby Flash Cards [ iTunes ].
On the DaDa gaming front… Fieldrunners,Knights are both tower defense games that I found fun until I bet them. Recently I’ve been playing Bejeweled 2 (which includes the Facebook game Bejeweled Blitz – which is the sole reason I play).
On the DaDa useful front…
Facebook, New York Times, Twitterific, LinkedIN, FourSquare, Shazam, Now Playing and Fandango.
