Activity with almost 3month olds

I feel a bit silly asking this but what kinds of activities do you do day to day with your littles? I feel like I'm not doing enough play/stimulation. They spend a lot of time in bouncers, we go for a lot of walks, but I don't feel like I am engaging them or getting 1:1 time with either girl :/. Being a nanny is so much easier than a MoM!

    At that age we primarily cuddled. I also read books to them or sung songs during tummy time. It sounds like you're doing exactly what you should!

    Agree with @missa_g. I remember posting this same thing. It seems like you're not doing enough but you are. It sounds like you're doing great!

    I definitely felt/feel that way all the time! My girls love their activity mat, and if one is occupied with that, that's when I swoop in and snuggle with the other one. Also, such a silly thing--my friend gave us a scarf that is really light weight & my girls think its super funny to watch it slowly float down over their heads or when it gets pulled quickly across their faces. They could play that game for hours...

    Very little besides holding, feeding, sitting them up on my lap and talking to them, and putting them on the activity mat for a few minutes here and there.  I don't feel like it's enough either, but it's about all I can manage!
