dress shopping and picture taking

I went DRESS shopping today! It was so fun. I had an awesome day. I took my mom, 1 bridesmaid Lisa and my maid of honor Sarah. I tried on about 5 dresses and LOVED, LOVED 2 of them. The 1st and the 3rd ones I tried on were the best. Sorry I can't post any pics, but if you ask nicely I may email them to you. I only went to one place today it was called Davids Bridal. They are a nice bridal chain with cheap prices and the sales woman are pretty nice too. I went today with a dress in mind and when I tried it on with the veil and gloves, my mom started crying. It gave me the chills, it was the 1st time I ever had a wedding dress on...wow! Yeah, I looked that good.....just kidding, I did look nice though. I tired on a couple more that were beautiful dresses, just not my style. Sarah tried on the bridesmaid dress that I had in mind...she looked pretty in it too. I made the joke, that I would be the best bride they had because I am so simple and easy going. All my girls like the dress I picked out for them, so that is cool, and its pretty afordable thats always a plus. After shopping we went out to lunch and had more fun. Over all it was a great day. I got a break from the girls, and went wedding shopping...2 of my favorite things right now...hehehe

In other news, I got Alanna's 9 months pictures back yesterday. She has a big glob of drool on her shirt that upsets me, but the pisture itself it reall

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.
