Life As I Know It: Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

As usual I am a little late with updating about the kids. But as I always say its better late than never. Not only have I been slacking on my blog, but I have been slacking on my pictures of the kids too.

This is one of the best pictures of Chris and the kids. I love the smiles and the poses from the girls.

My little bumble bee. Since starting school, I see a major change in this little girl. She is growing up so fast.

I LOVE "behind" pictures. Especially when the the girls are wearing tutus...I love tutu butts, haha

AND, as usual, my 2 favorite girls posing for their pictures. Alanna originally climbed up in this spot to relax and was so cute, we needed one of her sister too.

This was the best year so far for trick or treating. ALL the kids understood what to do and used their manners very well. With each passing year going out with the whole family becomes more fun with the older the kids get. Hannah was a witch, Alanna a bumble bee and Ben a dinosaur.

Just for comparison, here are some pictures from last year...WOW the kids are growing so fast!

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.
