Life As I Know It: Zoo

Zoo

I can't even begin to tell you how much FUN we had at the zoo. The weather started off a little cool but then the sun came out and we had sun the rest of the day. We took over 90 pictures...Here are some that I shared..Check it out**.

Alanna would make her animal sounds at all the animals. When it was time to leave an exhibit she would wave bye-bye and blow kisses. It was the cutest.

Hannah and her friend really had a good time too. They both were so good and we really enjoyed the family time.

We spent about 5 hours at the zoo and seen everything there was to see. My feet are so sore today, I can barely walk.

**While you are there, new pictures have been added of Hannah's birthday and some of our day to day picture worthy moments.

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.
