Day 22, finally

I FINALLY put the circus pictures on flickr. Check them out, there pretty neat. There are also some pictures of the decorations from Alanna's birthday party. I used balloons to make ice cream cones for the them of her party. I think they turned out pretty cute, if I might so say myself. Here are a few that couldn't wait to be seen.....

I always tease, and say that no matter where we go we are a traveling circus, this just proves me right. I love my circus family!

If you want to compare, check out the circus set on flickr. Its from last year and this year.

I have one more picture to scan in..its of the family on a tiger, a fake one of course. But the scanner is unhooked. It will come soon. (I hope)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, hope you share all your goods times with friends and family!

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.
