Life As I Know It: Miss me?

Miss me?

I know I have been gone forever, and I have so much to say. For starters I am so sorry I have been gone, but Chris has been doing things to the computer at night and I have been to tired to wait until he is done to get on. We have been busy over here with school, work and family. Chris' niece had her 3rd birthday last Sunday at a local bowling alley...it was fun. Hannah got to bowl and hang out with all the kids, while the adults got to mingle and watch the little ones try to roll the ball. I would post pics but at this time I am currently wondering where the camera is. Chris is not happy with me about that one.

I tried to take the girls to the apple orchard last weekend and wouldn't;t ya know Michigan weather wouldn't let me....It was cold and rainy. Hopefully I can get it to corporate one day this weekend so we can go, and if I find the camera take pictures.

I joined up for NaBloPoMo, now I have no excuses not to write something. Its gonna be tough but I think I can handle a challenge. You should go check it out and make a comment if you want to join.

I put new pics of US on...come check it out and see what we've been up to.

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.
