What fun things are yall doing with your babies? Mine just turned 16 weeks. I feel like I am having to be the entertainer all day for him. Which is ok - but he also gets bored of me and we get excited when dad comes home. He wants to play and tries to play independently but doesn’t have all the motor skills yet. He is getting bored of his play mat, bouncy chair, tummy time he hates. He likes playing with teething toys and books. I carry him around the house and talk with him and he does my house “chores” with me and he likes that. But sometimes I feel like he wants to do more! He tries bouncing his legs and loves kicking his feet. Our weather has been terrible the last month, but typically I will go on once walk a day. He watches me work out too and seems to enjoy that while cooing at me. I thought about a bouncer but I have seen mixed reviews on them as far as how it affects babies growth. Just looking for some new fun ideas? Thank you :)

I need help too haha my daughter is getting so bored of everything. Today I was looking through her toys and realized she had one of those stuffed animals that dances and sings. That entertained her for a good bit actually. It won’t last long tho😭

My baby loves to grasp things but be in a semi sitting position. So I’ll hold crinkly toys and grasping toys in front of him to grab and play with. He can do that for at least 30 minutes and loves it. I also lay him on the ground and hover over him 😅 He loves to play with my face and explore. And he loves to stare at mirrors! Occasionally he’ll listen to a Ms, Rachel baby episode too.

My baby girl loves to bounce and kick her feet also. She is 4M & loves the water pad. I also have a multi use walker that is used for tummy time but also has a piano at the feet for kicking. She loves it, the sound makes her kick crazier and crazier loll. Texture exploration is another I like to do, especially the crinkle soft toys.

My boy just turned 4 months and I joined a baby group where they sing and play, I get to meet other moms and my son will learn social skill early on and make new friends.
