I love new play ideas. What are some activities you and your baby like to do?

I sing and dance to entertain my girl, as well as giving her tummytime. She loves being tickled, and she's just discovered how amusing a mirror can be!

I like to interact with her using songs that have actions like

this little piggy
skinamarinki dink dink
insy winsy spider
she seems to like it

we sing and dance. We also have a lot of fun with the mirror. I'll hold him and walk slowly into the bathroom. He realizes where he is and gets a HUGE smile on his face. Then I say "where's the baby?" and whirl him around. HE CRACKS UP!!! He also loves to read stories (with very energetic voices, etc). Now that he's getting older, we also roll around and laugh and play on the floor all of the time.

For bath time I turn on the water to a slow flow. She loves to watch it. I also will dip her wash cloth in her tub and hold it up, letting her watch the water drip down.

I tell a story by moving her legs. For example, "Joy ran the race", while I'm moving her legs like she's running.

I also talk non stop to her. I tell her everything. "We are going to go change your diaper, and then we can go for a walk." I think that's why she talks so much.

I love all your songs! The lady behind me on the flight last week was singing a song to her baby I haven't heard before. I can't remember anything but the part where she said "sh sh sh". It was a cute song, wish I could remember it.
