That all sounds great to me! Babies thrive on a schedule so I don't think they mind the repetition - its you that is probably bored! It is too bad you can't leave your dog cause I bet your library would be a great place to visit.

Ha! Mine is only 3 months too! I haven't been yet but you said you love reading / books and I know my SIL and niece (4) and nephew (18 mo) love going to the story time.

@artbee- that is why I did it. I had my daughter in the end of November so my excercising was pretty limited. She was 8lbs 15oz when she was born, I got lots of arm muscles lol

About the same when we are at home. We bought a Leapfrog table for $20 off of Craigslist and she has had great mileage on it from months 3-9. I predict in another month or so, she'll be done though. She's starting to move it like a walker.
I also give her time to play in play pen, crib, blocks...I build/she knocks down. Blow bubbles. Photo/video shoots of her latest moves. Also, she plays with a container of household items (empty vitamin jar, teaspoons, whisk) that she adores. Generally making a mess of things is fun til no end. Oh and I confess, I did break down and show her a few minutes of videos a day. Ok, more like 10-15 minutes on most days. Yo Gabba Gabba, Sesame Street and Kids123.

My daughter's a bit older 5 1/2 months. We have a keyboard in our house so I play it for her and then hold her above the keys so she can bang on it, she really seems to like music time. I'll wear her around for awhile when I'm doing stuff and she seems to just like to observe. She also gets carted around to the different rooms and put her in various bouncers/entertainment centers or just on a blanket on the floor while I get stuff done. We have outside time unless it's cold and rainy. She likes chewing on books so we try to read once in awhile. Potty time she likes. I think right now everything is interesting to them so you don't have to worry too much about them getting bored.

@artbee: I remember I used to wonder what else to do with baby, so I made a list so we could refer to when I ran out of ideas. I think it was overkill but I wanted to make sure I was having a stimulating time with baby. When we got really bored, I would fill the bathroom sink with water, prop her sitting up, on the top side of the counter (jacuzzi style) and let her kick her feet and ankles in the water. Splash splash without the mess. Well, not too much.
