What do you do during the day to stimulate ur baby? what type of toys do u like to use etc?

His favorite thing to do is GO OUT! Seriously he hates being home. When we go to walk out the door he smiles and kicks and gets so excited haha. He will sit on our front porch and swing for so long looking at the sky, flowers, trees, birds chirping, cars etc. I got him a bunch of toys the other day as my hubby says for Christmas in July. He likes the xylophone a lot, he loves the floor mat because he scratches the letters out and chews on them, I got a laugh and learn kitchen thing he really likes too and some other stuff he hasnt tried out yet. Still loves his jumper though thats hif av in the house!

We have different toys in different rooms... he gets a ton of tummy time and I just plop him down and let him explore. His brother is pretty darn stimulating! We try to read (although he's not a fan) and we usually have a dance party at least once a day!
We're also starting to do a sensory table - fill it with different textures each week. One week could be feathers, another week dry beans or something crinkly... change it up. This was something they did when L was in daycare.

Jaden is an outside baby too. IF he is real fussy all i have to do is take him outside and he goes quite. He loves it. HIs second choice is his older brother. If seth is playing jaden just watches him and crawls after him. LOL. Got to love boys.

This sounds neat. What kind of table do you use? I can just picture the babies with a bunch of feathers hanging out of their mouths lol.

Jessi- Same here, when he gets fussy I just walk outside to the swing hehe.

You can use anything... I use the word table loosely! You can use a shoebox or something similar. L has a sand/water table that I'll use. It has two sides so you can can leave one side empty to play with or put two different textures. TRU/BRU has them on clearance right now with the outdoor summer stuff. It's similar to this: Safety 1st Sand N Surf Water Table - Safety 1st - Toys "R" Us or this: Sizzlin' Cool Sand and Water Table - Toys R Us - Toys "R" Us .

We have those colorful waffle blocks on the floor in his room and I just put him on the floor, tip over his tub of toys and let him go at it. We also have these sheer colorful sashes that we play peekaboo with, he loves it. His favorite thing to do is to go swimming and splash

I try to out every day (for my sanity as well). Right now his favourite things are the cats. They are great for motivating him to learn to crawl. But he also loves music so we listen to music or I put kids songs on You Tube (he loves the Muppets "Manamana".
