Pixar Movies = Good for baby!

My little girl Charlotte recently enjoyed her four month birthday, just reaching the point where distant objects have turned majestically visible. In fact, anything moving is now subject to seconds of deep scrutiny. I've been positioning her upright on my lap off and on since I can remember, so she could watch television with me. Not to worry-kid's stuff only!!! But even back when the television screen no doubt represented only a loud, confusing mass of chaos, I noticed that one viewing experience kept her still on my lap. Was it a cartoon? Was it a kid's show with costumed dancers and frenetic puppets? No, fellow mommies. It was a CGI movie, a Pixar production to be exact. I just want to say for the record I'm not affiliated with Pixar in any way, but I've just got to gab about their mesmerizing affects on my little munchkin. She's been hypnotized by every CGI (kid oriented) movie we've watched. One might assume the playful shapes and colors of a cartoon would be king to a child, but Pixar's three dimensional animation makes the characters pop from the screen. Now that she's older she even cooes at them sometimes. If you want to share some stimulating tv time with your little one, even if the're barely past the second month, I recommend trying out a CGI movie (Pixar seems to work the best for my baby, but I'm not ruling out any others.) You may be pleasantly surprised!
