And the award goes to...

I wanted to give a big THANK YOU to Punk Rock Chic for this awesome award. I just started reading her, and she is funny, spunky and tells it like it is. I really enjoy that. Plus we live close by each other and hopefully one day get our boys together to play since they are so very close in age. I find that when she writes her posts, I bob my head up and down in agreement and wonder why I never thought about writing the same post, because everything she is saying sounds like me.

So now I guess I am suppose to pick 15 people to pass this onto, However it is nap time and I have 2 crabby babies to lay down and then I need that much needed shower of the week, kidding...maybe. So here are a few I have time to link to.
Lori-because she is funny and a great teacher and I CANNOT wait to see her as a mommy
LOL-because she is a great friend IRL (in real life) and the best new mommy eveh!
Michelle-because we share the same birthday, Happy Birthday!
Tana, are you blogging this week, or just twitter, LOL-because she is plain FUNNY and we will be meeting up this summer if it kills us!
Noe-just because she is like the sweetest blog friend EVER!
DesignHER Momma-because she is prego and about to have 3 kids...SCARY
Twisted Cinderella-because she is prego and also about to have 3kiddos running around, and I love her honesty, plus Ben and Princess Magpie are days apart...They will marry one day..I swear!

So I know its not 15, but cut me some slack I just wrote this post in like 4 minutes...

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.
