Little weeds

FINALLY no one in the house is sick. It took awhile but I think its all gone...
So with that said, I took the girls to the drs (yes again) for their "well" check ups.
Hannah is 51 pounds and 3 feet 8 inches,
Alanna is 17 pounds, 2 ounces, and 25 3/4 inches long.
Wow my little weeds are a growing.

So me and Chris have talked about buying a new house in about a year, you know get a few things paid off and then add a little bit more to the savings. Well his mom called us on Sunday and told us about a house by her thats for sale. Well we went and looked at it. It was nice. We might just have to move up our plans to buy a bigger house to like...NOW. Yeah thats all we can talk about now. Lets cross our fingers and see how things go. I'm trying not to get to excited about things, but its a REALLY good find, we probably would not be able to find something like this again, even if we hold off for another year. We will see. wish me luck.

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.
