What Fun Things Do You Do with Your Baby?

What fun things do you do with your baby and how old is your baby? Where do you get ideas for fun things to do with your baby? What did you do that was fun with your baby when she was two months old? Teagan finally is at a place where she spends time awake not crying or eating. We've been doing a few games, but I'm looking for more and also am curious about what mamas with older babies are doing, since I'll be there soon enough!

I sing alot. At 2 months we didn't do much, just talked alot. I just held her close to my face and talked, and sang. And made over exsagerated faces at her. Just simple things.

i spent some time massaging j's body when he was an infant he loved it and it was a great bonding thing for us and kept his skin soft too. Singing is great for babys...

Oh yeah Eric gets a lotion massage after his bath, he has dry skin so it helps a lot. I started doing that around 2 or 3 months. Also I used to and still do dance with him a lot, and now he is actually a pretty good dancer! Now that he is older we play pretend which is awesome. A lot of times we will pretend we are different animals, like today we played that we were snakes. One thing I did that probably would not be fun for him now was I would read out loud to him from my intro to psychology book. It was good for him to hear my voice plus good for studying. And we sing songs together. He's 2 years old, will be 3 in august.

i so agree with the lotion massages! when ryan was about 2 months i just sang a lot of songs and made goofy faces. now that he's older we do a lot of dancing and crawling and singing and tickling and giggling! he's now at an age where he will actually watch a tv show so we do a lot of blue's clues songs and barking! hahaha...anything for laughs!

I have a little bear puppet that has a silk/ furry blanket underneath it that my mom got at Walmart. I take it and make the bear "kiss" him. He smiles and laughs. Plus i let him feel the soft part of the blanket and then the silky side. I do agree with the singing and reading too. I also talk to him allllll the time. It felt kind of silly at first but I think it has helped him with his babbles a lot.

Chey is 6 months. I have some toys with buttins that make noise. I push them then help her do the same. I read to her. I mostly have the board books and for now she tries to get them and chew on them so much as listening to me. I talk to her and make diffrent faces and sing and dance which she loves ive been doing that since she was two or three months.

when Ariana was younger I got sick and couldn't do much but read and sing. and we danced. a lot.

Peyton was older when I relapsed and we did all the walks and peek-a-boo just like Ariana. and of course we sang and danced.

Now they are older we read a lot, go for walks when I am able too, do crafts, and most of all we love to sing and dance :)
