Re: 6 weeks old..how to play?

I put Alex in her Gymini, which seems to entertain her quite a bit. I also have a Fisher Price toy that lights up & plays music, like a piano. She really seems interested in Baby Einstein DVD's, we have the Language Nursery and I am learning Russian, French, and Italain along with her!Chat Icon
I put that on in the morning & it allows me time to shower & eat breakfast.Chat Icon
She likes her swing too, the Baby Papasan, I read books to her on the glider, I sing songs to her, etc... She really responds to rattles & things like that now, but even just talking to her gets her cooing & laughing, so I just experiment a lot.Chat Icon

There is a great book out by Gymborie. I got it at Barens & Nobles. I love it- gives all play activities for ages 0-3 months, 3-6 months, ect.... might want to pick that up! It also has a lot of nursery rhimes to sing to baby.

I put him in his bouncer wherever i am in the house and talk to him about what i'm doing. He likes his swing too. I am going to try some baby Einstein DVD's... sometimes i put the radio on and we dance. And just talking to him gets him smiling and laughing. Its so hard at this age, i cant wait for him to be a little older so i can really "play" with him!!!

I sing to Emma - A LOT! - About everything. LOL
Dancing broccoli or fettucine when I'm cooking, I dance and shake bottles when I'm preparing her formula - I show her how I fold laundry - Talk to her about my conversations when the phone rings - I make up songs when I change her diaper - I take baths with her - I take her to other rooms in the house where I have toys for her, and give her playtime there. I put her in her stroller and take her for walks around the house (I know it sounds crazy, but I feel like it gives her a different view of things - and she was born in the winter and couldn't take her out.)
I try to introduce new toys to her when I feel like she's reaching a new milestone. First it was things to touch - different textures, and now it's things for her to grab.

When she coo's to me - I coo back. She loves that interaction.

She also LOVES her swing!

When Alex was that young I would sing to her, talk to her, read books to her, hold little toys over her head and bring them over to the left and right so she could practice following objects with her eyes, I would take her out for strolls, take her to stores with me, and she LOVEEED when I would dance with her Chat Icon

I don't have the Baby Papasan, I have a Fisher Price one that swings both ways ($85 at BRU) and Aly LOVES it. She stares at the birds above her and usually falls asleep in it!

If I get lucky she'll occasionally fall asleep in it, but my DD is only a "power napper" during the day, so if I get 20 minutes intervals of peace it's a good day!Chat Icon
...but unlike most babies, she has NEVER fallen asleep in her swing or carseat!!!!Chat Icon

I was just going to say dance, sing & read to her. I used to talk to mine a lot when they were younger. I would tell them everyone who loved them..."Who loves Maddie? Mommy loves Maddie. Daddy loves Maddie. Joseph will love you when he's stopped trying to give you away to strangers. Grandma loves Maddie. Grandpa loves Maddie....etc, etc"
