Things to Do With Baby Posted: 06-14-06 01:17am
I am very fortunate to have the
opportunity to stay at home with my baby
daughter for the first year. My
husband and I have only one vehicle and he
leaves for work at 5 am. This means
that I am at home with my daughter all
day. Due to the weather we stay at
home during the week and rarely get
outside. I love spending time with
her and she is a very active 4 1/2 month
old. However, I am struggling to find
things to do with her to occupy the whole
day.
We start our day at 8 am and play until
1pm. She has a 30 min. Nap and
then we play until 3. She then goes
down for 1-2 hrs. And is up again
until nearly midnight!
I have a swing for her, a jolly jumper and
a bouncy seat for her to sit in. We
play on her back and tummy on the floor
and do exercises together on my yoga ball.
I look forward to time with her but I
am interested in other mother's imput as
to what else I can do. I am getting
bored, especially when she is, as I said
earlier, an active child and likes to keep
busy. I give her time by herself, but
after 15 minutes she's calling for me.
Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
