It was totally HOT, HOT, HOT here in good ole Michigan this weekend. I'ver learned 2 things this weekend. I definetly have a winter baby on my hands. We had 2 BBQ's to go to this weekend and Alanna does not like the heat. We tried cooling her down by putting her in the pool, poor baby cried so hard you would thing she was being hurt (she was not though). Hannah loves the heat. She was in the water all day long until we had to force her out because it was time to go home. The 2nd thing I learned is that I am inpatient. Me and Chris put a deposit on a house this weekend. We 1st have to sell my house, but I am soooooo excited. Anyone looking for a house in Michigan? I need to MOVE. This new house is so much bigger! Plus this will me mine and Chris's 1st house that we choose together. I hope everything works out. I'll let you all know the details later....
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend.

Congrats on the deposit! You guys work quick! I can't wait to hear all the details. This humidity is really too much to bear, and my job doesn't have air, so it's me and 21 sweaty 7 year olds who whine all day about the heat. The sad part is, I whine right along with them. Are you as upset as I am about the Pistons last night?

The Benefits of Mobiles for Infants

When choosing the right mobile for baby cribs, it is important to note that not all mobiles are created equal. All mobiles are designed to help keep your baby busy, but not all are designed to stimulate the development of your child’s mind. When choosing the right mobile, there are a few key factors that every parent should keep in mind.

Many mobiles are designed to be easily matched with a nursery décor. This means soft colors including pastels and other unsaturated hues. While they may look nice, this is not ideal in helping develop your baby’s visual senses. Infants have difficulty seeing soft colors, which means that these mobiles will not be as stimulating as others. When choosing a mobile, look for models that have attachments that are white, black, red, and one or more bright colors. Your child will have a much easier time seeing bright colors and it will help greatly as your child’s vision develops.

A good developmental mobile should also have several moving parts and points of articulation. Mobiles with attachments that allow for more rotations and movements will help your child with spatial relations. Not only that, but these mobiles will also engage your infant for longer periods of time. Even a child can decipher simple movement patterns and become bored, so complex patterns will help them stay occupied longer.

Lastly, look for a mobile that has incorporates audio as well as visual elements. Many mobiles on the market today come equipped with a music box to help entertain, stimulate, and relax your child. The high-end models even let you choose between stimulating or soothing music to help either engage or help relax your baby. The combination of visual and audio elements is the best way to help with the development of an infant and music especially is an essential part of developing a healthy and well adjusted child.
