What does your daily routine look like with your 6 month old?

Question

Looking for ideas of what to do with my 6 month old. I feel like i am not doing enough with teaching or talking or whatever else. And I have kind of hit a blah wall at the moment :/.. I was just wondering what others do with their 6 month olds?

Answer

I tried to right out our daily doings but somewhere past 9:30 it started to look like a short novel so I'll try to simplify it lol after waking up and having breakfast we talk to Dad and cuddle until he leaves then we play on the mat and talk about what we are doing for the day until nap time at 9-10ish usually lasts until 11 or 12 then we have lunch and go for a walk if it's really nice I bring some toys and a blanket and park it under a tree for a while to enjoy some fresh air when we get home I usually let her watch about 30 minutes of her favorite show little baby bum on Netflix (she loves it and it's super cute nursery rhyme musical cartoons) then we will crawl around and play with the cat or chit chat until her nap around 2ish she usually wakes up from her last nap anywhere from 3-4 at that point it's all about making it until dad gets home lol and we kind of just cuddle and practice crawling and whatever we can do to pass the time when he gets home I let them play while I cook dinner whatever I cook for dinner I usually let her have some of the veggies or potato's I just leave off seasoning and she eats before I do around 5 or 5:30 after that we hang out with Dad maybe go on another walk in the front carrier this time and try to get out all the sillies before bed time then we have our bedtime routine of I read her a book while we wait on her bath tub to be ready then we do a short bath and I sing her a lullaby while getting her jammies then I feed her a bottle and it's time for bed.... Sorry that was so long I was trying to be thorough haha

Answer

My LO gets bored easily so I have to change out our toys. She has the Bright Start walk around table (her favorite), an exersaucer, a walker and tons of toys. Every time she’s on the floor I give her different toys. (She’ll play with a water bottle all day long 😂) She absolutely loves being outside. So if the weathers nice we go out there for a bit, either in her walker or for a ride on the golf kart. I want to get her a little swing for out there. 
Anyhow: we don’t have a strict routine but our days go something like this.
Up by 7 so I go ahead and nurse her.
She plays for about an hour then takes a nap for about an hour.
I feed her some baby food, if she wants some.
She plays for another few hours, we nurse, and she goes back down for a good nap. 
Up to play some more!! 
At 7 I feed her cereal, she gets a bath and by then she’s fighting her sleep. So I’ll nurse her to sleep. 
We have other feeding sessions in there but she feeds on demand so it’s not much of a schedule for feeding.
