I feel like she isn't stimulated enough.

Answer

We do art. There are tons of great ideas on pinterest for babies. We like to put card stock in a ziplock bag and add puff paint and she squishes the paint around, it’s basically cleaned finger painting, we go for walks daily, we have a large bin filled with beans that she plays with for sensory time, we go “swimming” in the bath tub, whenever she is watching me do something like vacuuming I explain to her what I am doing in detail, we play hide and seek with toys...I hide them and then we find them together, she “helps” me cook I put her in her chair and explain what I am doing while cooking and prepping foods, banging on pots and pans.

Answer

Getting out of the house is my goal every day. I try to get out at least twice. Sometimes in the morning we go out for coffee, after first nap we go to target to walk around or go for a walk around the neighborhood. My girl LOVES the swing at the park. That can kill an hour. She loves crawling in the grass. I find she sleeps better at night when we are outside.

Answer

We go to to baby group, shopping, meet girlfriends for lunch, visit friends and family, go for walks...
I cant stand being home all day! We head out for at least a few hours in the afternoon

Answer

I’m starting to feel the same way about spending time inside. That’s why I have to get out with my son every day. We’ll go on a walk or go shopping or go to the park. We have a park nearby with ducks and swings and he really loves that lately. I also go to a free baby music class that my local library puts on every Monday. You should check to see if your library has any activities like that for babies!

Answer

We go outside everyday. Even if it’s raining or cold. Play in the grass and explore in the trees and go for walks. We do dance parties too.
