So, I'm looking for ideas. Ophelia and I do tons of stuff but ideas are so much fun to hear about.....
Tell me about one of your favorite things to do AT HOME with your LO :-}}
Mine is so simple. I sit in the floor and let her climb me. She is so tickled by getting herself upright that I'm just totally digging her getting there! I also enjoy laying side-by-side with her while reading a book to her. I always have 4 books so we can rotate through because she wants to chew whatever I'm reading so I give it up and move on to the next one.
Re: What games do you play with LO
I made puppets and he loves when I sing with them to him. We do peek a boo, "How big is baby", the color ring toy, "where's daddy", lots of singing and dancing..
We play chess, stratego and monopoly.
LOL. Just kidding.
We play Peek-A-Boo and I also play a game where I eat his fingers and he LOVES it. He can't get enough of it.
We play:
Peek-A-Boo
Read books (I give her a book to chew on while I read one)
Crawl around on the floor with her
Play with her big soft blocks on the floor. I stack them up, she knocks them down.
We also play catch a cat by the tail......Willow and Oliver ( our cats) are not amused by this game. Willow gives us both the stink eye and Oliver goes and hides under the bed. I try really hard to teach DD how to pet the cats without hurting them, but she just hasn't grasped the concept yet.
Peek A Boo- usually while I"m cooking dinner and he's in the exersaucer- I hide behind the island in the kitchen and peer at him from different sides. He loves it- and so do I.
Itsy Bitsy Spider- he loves that. Usually while I'm changing his diaper. Wheels on the Bus- he thinks thats funny. I tickle him and kiss his neck a lot- he laughs when we do that.
Such a fun age right now!
I do this too! I also "eat" his feet, and legs...and he loves it!
DS loves patty cake where I move his hands together, I also play hide and seek with a toy that squeaks, and we also play with the kittys (well learning how to pet them).
