Haba Sunshine Mobile
Before my son was born, I bought the token battery operated mobile to hang in his crib. He only liked it for a brief period of time, until it came loose and fell on top of him. He wasn’t so much a fan of it after that. When my daughter was born, I did have a battery operated mobile for her crib, but I wanted something to hang over her changing table that was more appealing visually, rather than over sensitizing in movement. I’ve loved Haba’s products for a long time, and this one was perfect for a little girl’s room.
When my daughter was weeks old, the mobile put her in a curious trance. Unable to focus on the mobile itself, the slow blurry movement soothed her. She watched intently. When she was old enough to see it clearly, she smiled at it during diaper changes. As she got older, she cooed and laughed at it. I’d spin it for her, and make the flowers talk, and she’d squeal with delight, “talking” to her friends as they spun by.
While I’ve had to adjust the height on it, so she doesn’t rip it off the ceiling, she still loves her Haba mobile. At 10 and a half months, she pointed to it the other day, and said “fowa.”
I love that this mobile has given her so much joy over the last year, and that it has required nothing to make it run. I love that we have our little moments together, “talking” about the flowers and making it spin around. I love how durable it is and that even when she’s older, I’ll still be able to hang it on her ceiling as a decoration, and remember the memories we made together.
While this one is a bit girly, Haba makes quite a few mobiles to fit the decor of any baby’s room. And I’m truly remiss that I didn’t get one for my son when he was a baby. I know he would have loved it just as much as she has.
