What else can I do with my 12 week old??

I feel like he does the same things everyday and that I should be changing it up. He goes on his playmat (he'll stay on that for awhile), bouncer (he gets bored with that after a little while), and swing. What else do you do with them at this age? I'm running out of idea already Chat Icon I tried him in the exersaucer yesterday but he's definately not ready for that yet Chat Icon

We started Music Together at 3 months.

I read to my DD, sing to her, bathe her, she loves that! We go for walks, run errands, have play dates. I also do tummy time, dangle toys over her head and have her try to reach/kick for them, walk around the house and show her things, look in the mirror.

She just started using the jumparoo with a pillow underneath and she loves that! I also dance with her, she LOVES that!

Hope that helps!

I was in that same boat......had no idea what to do with him!!

We joined Music Together so that helps for 1 day a weekChat Icon

Seriously though......at that age.....bouncy seat, walks, playmat, sit on my lap & hold toys that he was learning to grab at and singing to him!

The Music Together CD was & IS still great for that! The sillier faces I make at him the better he likes it! Any music will do though......in the beginning it was Frank Sinatra and the Beatles and we would sing & dance around!

I also started reading to my DS at about that age.

That's pretty much all i did, besides go for walks a lot. But that was in sept and it's a little cold for daily walks. Chat Icon

As for everything else... well i don't sing and i doubt the kid would want me to either. Haven't started reading to him either, but we did start watching mickey mouse playhouse in the a.m. Chat Icon

Unfortunately there's not much you can do with him at this moment.
