We have to switch activities every 5-10 minutes or LO gets bored and starts screaming. We do peek-a-boo and sing If You're Happy and You Know It a lot. Luckily he finds his older brother to be super hilarious so if he sits in his booster chair they play together and it is so cute. J bangs on the tray and acts like a fool and it makes Max laugh hysterically. He's like his own personal court jester.

We constantly sing random songs about whatever we're doing. LO loves her little Baby Einstein radio and to look at herself in the mirror. Her new thing is also grabbing her Oball and chucking it across the room... Only to whine to have it back, and restart the cycle lol

Brilliant! I need a toddler! Just to borrow though to entertain my child. Then it can go back.
She loves her jumperoo, piano, and playing dolls with her sister. They actually play/talk with each other a lot. She likes to play airplane and when I sing songs. We dance around quite a bit.

Loves to just play on the floor with toys, I switch him from sitting to laying. Jumperoo is a big hit still. Always talking to him and clapping and dancing.
But his favorite is getting tickled and standing him on my lap where he can pull my hair, poke my eyes and nose, drool all over me and eat my face.

This past week I put down some towels, and a baking sheet - put a layer of water in the baking sheet, added a couple of water friendly toys (and a tupperware container - who needs fancy toys) and plopped ROM in front of it. He loves splashing around in it.
He also thinks the dog doing her thing is the funniest thing ever - sometimes.
I just picked up a Baby Einstein Jumper - hours of entertainment. We also do a lot of random singing and a near constant stream of interchanging toys. I do like that water idea, withsilverwings, I may just steal it!
We still do floor mat play time a lot. Its cool because he sees things he liked before differently now. I put the bird mobile on that he hasnt seen in weeks and hes entranced. Thanks jamjoyful for the idea to get his piano back out! He didnt get it before, but I bet he will now. He loves the exersaucer. His favorite is noble duke of york- I bounce him on my knees and go up on "up" and down on "down", he laughs so hard. (Omg Im using terrible internet punctuation... gah) Also hes loving the soft ring teether that has water or something in it and sophie the giraffe. I bring him new toys now to explore. And he loves his fisher price crawl around car. He practices sitting in it. He basically eats the horn the whole time.
The kid has finally started playing on her play mat so we do tummy time a lot. We practice sitting. She loves to bounce in her jumper. Loves watching the dog. I sing "Old McDonald Had a Farm" to her. Play patty cake. Play airplane.
She gets SO excited when I do Itsy Bitsy Spider on her. The spider crawls up her, then the rain falls down her, etc. When I make her arms into an arc for the sun she giggles like crazy. I let her be totally naked on some towels for a little while each day and she will do this cute hip dance. Constant stream of toys. Sitting practice. She attempts to pet the cat I make silly faces and she grabs my face a lot. I'm a little tea pot, though she gets less excited for that one
Rolling, any toy the "crinkles" we have a ball with tags on it she will play with, taking her paci out and chewing on it, then putting it back in again. Loves her rainforest jumper and exersaucer too.
DD still loves "I'm a little teapot". She loves peek-a-boo, being tickled, and once in a while she likes when I read to her. She gave a huge laugh while reading a Little Golden book last week!
Like a PP said, we usually have to change what we're doing every 5-10 minutes to keep her happy. Our nightly things are tummy time with toys where she practices pulling herself and sitting. Jumper used to be a favorite but is hit or miss the last week. We are getting a dog 1 month from today and I'm super excited because DD LOVED when DHs parent's dog licked her!
DD likes airplane, it always makes her giggle. We do sitting practice, she plays her piano, and she is obsessed with one of our cats, she's always trying to pet him. She's less interested in her toys, so we may need to switch them out. She loves her link rings, which she just wants to chew on. We tried peek a boo yesterday, but I don't think she got it.

Oh the baby einstein jumperoo is a big hit here! I'm probably her favorite activity, especially grabbing hair or my nose. Her new trick is blowing raspberries. She loves watching the dogs play. Lately I have been focused on playing while sitting up. She sits up pretty well on her own. We have one of those shape sorters and she loves it. She has no idea that the shapes go in the holes but eh, it'll come.

Definitely the exersaucer. Yesterday I put her in her high chair and put her piano on the table so she could play with that and she really like that too. Reading, grabbing my face, grabbing the cat's hair.
The grandparents got her a walker for Christmas and we just pulled it out last night. She has no clue what she's doing and looks like a squid, but she likes when u push her and we chase the dog. The dog on the other hand is not such a fan of this new contraption.
DD is all about the dogs. Watching them, petting them (still learning the difference between petting and yanking), hanging out with them. Also toys, any and all toys. She reaches for them, drops them, licks them...

DD loves being tossed in the air. I have no idea how to make that sound right but you all know what I mean. She also loves to be carried around. All Day. And her newest favorite thing is rolling on her belly and grabbing toys to eat.

Yup LO loves the dogs too. See siggy I'm a big animal lover so it makes me incredibly happy that she loves the dogs.
