Is there an activity/toy they enjoy the most?

How long are they content with an activity?

    DD enjoys her jumperoo and exersaucer. She can do a full 30 minutes in the jumperoo and 10-15 minutes  in the saucer. 

    She also takes 3 one hour naps through out the day. With feedings, story time, bath time, tummy time and sometimes playground time (I have a toddler as well), the day is too short.

    He loves his activity mat and his seahorse.

    however long the night, dawn will break.

    WE do so much throughput the day, that I am not sure who is more tired me or him. We do the doorway jumper in the morning and late afternoon. We read book, walk the dog, sing songs, work on back/belly time. This week though, I am using the playpen for the first time and putting him there with toys and light music so that he can learn how to entertain himself and independently play. I know some moms turn their nose up at the playpen, but we have a 70lbs dog that loves DS and all his toys, making independent play hard.

    His favorite activity lately is trying to sit. He does pretty well at it, he can sit unassisted for 30 seconds to a minute regularly, sometimes longer. I usually lay a big baby blanket on my bed and we practice in the center, it's soft in case he falls while sitting. We'll sit there and play with toys or read books a lot. 

    He also spends time in the swing, jumperoo, and bouncer almost every day. If I'm doing chores, he likes to sit in the bouncer and watch me. Sometimes I wear him while I do chores too, something like vacuuming or swiffering that doesn't involve chemicals and isn't in the kitchen only though.

    We try to change activities every 20 minutes, and I alternate between a play activity and a rest activity every time.

    The exersaucer is great (get usually 2 1/2 hour sessions), cuddling during tv time, WALKS, her play mat, tummy time, her walker, she loves her baby laptop and then a lot of the day we just play with our toes and hands and goof off. She is only taking 2 naps a day now so I just try to change it up a lot!

    We are on the go a lot, but on days that we are home all day long: he plays on the floor on a blanket with a tummy time mirror, we nap together, he gets in exersaucer, etc. A lot of times, I strap him to me  while I clean.
