We're almost to 7 weeks. She's still napping quite a bit but is more awake during the day.
I don't know whatto o with her. I mean, we sing, talk, she'll sit on her mat or in her swing, we got for walks. After day after day of these activities, I'm wondering if there is something else we could be doing.
what do you do?

Ok good.
We play very exciting games, such as:
- So Big
- Stick Out Your Tongue
- Smile Crazily to get your Baby to Smile
- Dance to the TV Commercials (especially the Weber one)
- Make Up Silly Songs about Nothing
That's about it. :-)
That's pretty much it!
Ditto about sitting her up as well. She loves to be upright- it's almost an acitivity in itself.
good i'm glad i'm not missing anything.
This! We do the "How big is that baby" "This big!" game approximately 10 times a day. He sticks his tongue out at me constantly. We dance to the soundtracks from Glee (especially the Warblers). I sing songs about changing his diaper. Good times.
Um, are you for real? You only "allow" them to be up for 40 minutes?
How exciting!
We play games, sing, and dance around. She's often awake for more than 40 minutes at a time and she has STTN for a couple weeks now.
And if they didn't fall asleep after an hour what happened? Did you bore them to death with your how to guide to sleeping infants? That sure would make me fall asleep.
OP, we did most of the same things you are doing. Except the walks, Mother Nature has not been kind to us lately, if its not cold and raining, its hot and humid. Also, sitting her upright isn't a bad idea either!
