What else is there to do with a 1 month old?

He likes his swing, I sit him in his boppy, sing to him, tummy time. I try to play with him and his toys but he's not old enough yet to grab them and play with them. Is there anything else I should be doing that I'm not to help him develop?

You're doing the right things...do you have a playmat that he can lay on?

Yes. I have everything from the FP Rainforest theme.

It's so tough at that age b/c as you said there is little engagement from the baby. Since the weather is improving, try to get out for walks. What about reading books? Do you have a vibrating/bounce chair? My DD loved that anytime.
It really sounds like you are doing everything that you can at this stage.

Re: What else is there to do with a 1 month old?

I had the same question when DD was that age. I definitely agree with using the playmat. Although it took her a while to actually play with the toys, she enjoyed looking at all the stuff.

ETA: You could also go for a walk.
