  • My LO is really getting into the exersaucer and jumparoo. He likes dancing and singing with me or even hanging in the carrier or sling or sitting in the highchair while I do chores. I involve him, singing, making silly faces, narrating what I'm doing. As

  • LO isn't 5 months yet but she's pretty easily entertained. I'm at home with her, so I have times of the day we play, and otherwise its napping or housework. She likes her activity mat and especially the chimes and toys she can pull down and vibrate back.

  • I'm a couple weeks behind, but DD absolutely loves her play mats.They keep her entertained while I cook, take showers, etc.. When I can give her full attention, she loves it when I sing to her. Singing while acting silly gets me extra baby brownie points.
