Life As I Know It: short and sweet

short and sweet

I know that I have been MIA lately...With Ben being sick and now I am sick, I just don't have the motivation or the energy to write a post. Every time I leave Ben for one second he cries and so I just sit and rock him. The lab tests from last week came in and he has another sinus infection. The dr called in another rx and this one stronger than the last.
Today I took Hannah to the dr and she has an eye infection. I asked the dr to check Ben's ears and he has ANOTHER ear infection. So tubes is a necessity. Surgery is scheduled for December 28th...Hopefully no more ear infections after that and I can get back to our normal. Today was the first day I actually cooked dinner without Ben crying at my feet to hold him..I have high hope we are going up from here.

Stay tuned I have a giveaway coming soon, and its just in time for Christmas!

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.
