Entertaining your 2-3 month old

Dd is almost 7 weeks old and is spending more time awake these days. What should I do to entertain her? I read her a few books each day but that takes 10 minutes. We try tummy time (but she hates if so it's only 10 minutes). I put her in her swing with the mobile and she's happy I just feel like I'm ignoring her. I do talk talk to her when I'm doing things but right now I'm just being lazy on the sofa while she swings and I feel guilty.
What do you do with your lo when they are awake?

Around that age DD started to really enjoy being on her activity mat. She started kicking a lot, so we bought the Kick & Play piano mat (thanks to a recco from LIF) and that would keep her entertained for a decent amount of time.

But, it's also not bad for her to just sit and chill in her swing at times too. I read on Baby Center that newborns sometimes like to watch the world and try to process. As long as she's not crying, you shouldn't feel guilty.
