Life As I Know It

December 2, 2006

I took the girls to get their christmas pictures taken today. I did not like the lady doing the pictures at all...There was something about her that made me so upset. She kept putting this feather duster in Alanna's face to make her smile and it was scaring her. Why is it this lady couldn't understand then when Alanna would grab for me and start crying that what ever she was doing was not working? Some of the pics turned out okay, when I get them I will post them. I think I might try another place next time.

Today I was checking out all my favortie reads in my bloglines and I realized that I haven't found anyone new lately to read and follow through their lives...So I was wondering who are your favs...Who do you read daily and feel lost if you missed a few days. Leave a link and tell me why they are your favorites. Theres always room for more friends.

Ihave hated a few of Trav's photographers! I just do not get why a company that is for children portraits only will hire people that clearly do not like kids...
We went to Picture People here in TX and the lady that did T's pictures was AWFUL! She did not even try to make him smile! ARGH!

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.
