What toys or activities do you do with your Newborn??

Just wondering what you do with your 2 week old?? My daughter is very alert even at 2 Weeks old she watches herself in the mirror I will move it and she follows it with her eyes to the other side it is crazy. I was wondering what else I can do for her. I talk to her sing etc. Any favorite music your child likes? Did you start the baby Einstein DVD's? Tummy time mats? Thanks

we didnt really use toys at 2 weeks...

our doc said some tummy time with activity mat,

at 2 months now he has become more alert to noticing the mobile and rattles.

I have used the tummy time mat with DS and he is a little over 2 weeks. He really likes it.

I plan on doing lots of interaction with her...singing, and other things known as "tickles" and "wiggles" - it's all infant/toddler speak for different rhymes and songs. I guess it helps that I'm a music teacher by trade.Chat Icon This is the kind of stuff that goes on at Music Together and other mommy & me music classes, which I do plan to take her to eventually so we get the social interaction as well.

There's a book out there that I just ordered...and it comes with a CD if you're interested. Also has a few pages with suggestions for parents.

Babies Make Music

I also plan on reading to her a lot as well. Chat Icon

All kidding aside, I read stories even at that age, played music, sang songs, etc.
