Baby Adventures

  1. Let her look at herself in the mirror
  2. Hold up a stuffed animal and let her swat at it
  3. Lie on your back next to her and read a story. Birdie's favorites include 16 Cows, Waking Beauty, and anything from the Llama Llama series. 
  4. Take your hair down and flip it over your head. Then, lean over your baby, let your hair tickle her cheeks, and listen to the giggles. 
  5. Lay on your back and hold her up with your arms locked. Zoom her back and forth, letting her fly above you. 
  6. Start the same as #5, only this time slowly lower your baby down like you're doing a reverse push up. Watch as she focuses in on you and smiles. (As a bonus, this is a great exercise for your arms.)
  7. Kiss attack. Kiss kiss kiss one cheek, then pull back to look at her, count to three to build up the suspense, then lean down and kiss kiss kiss her other cheek. 
  8. Pretend to eat her belly by making munching noises while you move your lips open and closed on her tummy.  
  9. Take a trip to Lowes or Home Depot and walk around the lighting department. Let her stare at all the different fixtures and marvel at how they turn on and off as you walk past.  
  10. Let her bang a wooden spoon against a pot. 
  11. Go on a walk
  12. Give her something random she's never played with before, like a spatula.
  13. Look out the window
  14. Go to a pet store and watch the birds and fish
