I got to the point where I would just go about my regular routine with her either in a central location where she could pretty much always hear me or in her sling, and I would narrate what I was doing, so she would hear my voice.Allison P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-2168339992072225612010-10-22T22:22:37.139-04:002010-10-22T22:22:37.139-04:00We took lots and lots of walks - in the mall, outs...We took lots and lots of walks - in the mall, outside, even once at the zoo. The poor thing slept through the whole time her first zoo experience but it was somewhere new to look around when she was awake.<br /><br />Lucie loved to check herself out in the mirror, especially at this age, now its old news, but when she could "see the baby!" she loved that.<br /><br />I am also a singer. Not well, but she doesn't mind. Christmas carols, whatever was on the radio at home - We did lots of singing at home while no one else is there :)tab890https://www.blogger.com/profile/07501552463291544798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-23944200236166541072010-10-22T17:36:21.147-04:002010-10-22T17:36:21.147-04:00I felt the exact same way when my son was young. ...I felt the exact same way when my son was young.

Elle has an activity mat so we would lay her on that. A friend told me about a website called Productive Parenting. I signed up and get a daily activity to do with her. Some of them are like duh but it at least gives you an idea!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03229166679750800914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-65323051361727001722010-10-22T15:07:30.939-04:002010-10-22T15:07:30.939-04:00Not sure if this will be helpful to you, but I fou...Not sure if this will be helpful to you, but I found this article while surfing:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.babycenter.com/0_20-fun-silly-development-boosting-games-to-play-with-your-ba_1479310.bc" rel="nofollow">20 Fun Silly Development Boosting Games to Play with Your Baby</a>Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552178183330841989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-55746740372103863162010-10-22T15:06:09.353-04:002010-10-22T15:06:09.353-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552178183330841989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-65544124160347117972010-10-22T14:57:24.420-04:002010-10-22T14:57:24.420-04:00I'm so glad that you posted this!

I have even sung the ABCs repeatedly to him, just in case I'm already supposed to be doing that!

He was never really interested in toys for quite some time. Only recently is he REALLY in to playing with toys (and he's 6.5 months). Our little guy was just content to stare at mommy and daddy. <br /><br />One thing through he loved was I would hold up my hand and wiggle my fingers with a light source, such as a window, behind my hand. He would watch that for quite a long time.Heather (West Coast)noreply@blogger.com
