HELP! I need ideas for activities with my DD inside. All outside activities outside are out, and going to the store everyday is starting to make me a shopaholic. Any idea would be greatly appreciated!

This wouldn't be inside YOUR house, but check out the local library.  Ours has an infant program where they read a story and you do an activity with LO. 

Dance together!  I hate dancing in front of people, even DH but I like to dance with DD.

tell me about it! I live in a small city apt. I wish I had suggestions. I go for very cold walks.

We took LO swimming at the local YMCA. It was so fun!

I hear ya! 

My dd goes to daycare so we only have a few hours a day at home during the week so we don't do a lot.  However, on the weekends, we play a lot.  I set up all the teddy bears and it's like a party for my dd.  She loves grabbing them and staring at them.  We also change where she sits - from exersaucer to high chair - just to give her different views.  My dd likes sitting up rather than lying down and wants to see what is going on so that makes her happy.  And we are lucky- our building has a pool so she goes "swimming" a lot.  It's silly since we hold her above the water most of the time but she laughs so we do it.
