Her favorites are super short and some with no stories. We have a couple of books with little finger puppets in them that she loves--I usually just talk to her with the finger puppet after the story is over.</p> <p>She likes her jumparoo for about 10 minutes.<br /> Talking to her mobile animal friends, she will play with them for up to 20 minutes.<br /> Walking around the house.<br /> She loves baby crunches!<br /> She likes tummy time</p> <p>But her absolute favorite thing to do is practice standing. She gets so excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-3-month-babies#post-260922 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:13:36 +0000 winniebee 260922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good suggestions! I forgot about standing he likes that. Also likes siting on te back deck and watching the trees while mom has a beer ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-3-month-babies#post-260917 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:10:52 +0000 tequiero21 260917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kids like repetition! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-3-month-babies#post-260864 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:33:58 +0000 dookie32 260864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also suggest going outside- laying on a blanket or just walking around. That's probably my son's favorite thing to do. I'm not sure if it's the sounds or all the things to look at but it entertains him for far longer than any of his toys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-3-month-babies#post-260855 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:25:06 +0000 Honeybee 260855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS also really likes when we sing to him or tell him nursery rhymes. And he LOVES being tickled. :)</p> <p>Also, don't underestimate outside time! We go on walks or to the park/beach/river pretty much daily. DS can't do much right now, but he loves just being outside and watching the wind in the trees or the waves on the sand.! He also loves sitting on the front porch in the afternoons and watching all the people/dogs in the neighborhood walk by. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-3-month-babies#post-260845 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:17:22 +0000 keiki_mama 260845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAGS: Mine does that too! It's so cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-3-month-babies#post-260843 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:15:37 +0000 keiki_mama 260843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately I've been turning on music and dancing/swaying with him. He loves it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-3-month-babies#post-260842 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:15:08 +0000 LAGS 260842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO loves visiting all the 'mirror babies' around the house. She totally hams it up for them and loves to look at my reflection as I talk to her through the mirror. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-3-month-babies#post-260841 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:12:22 +0000 KT326 260841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, my husband does the same thing with the tv! Drives me nuts. We pretty much do all the things you listed. We also just let ds, who will be 5 months on the 26th, have time on the floor with his toys. He is learning how to scoot around and he is almost rolling over. He has done it a couple times but not consistently. He also loves to stand on our laps. We'll do this a lot and he is usually chattering away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-3-month-babies#post-260825 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:02:03 +0000 regberadaisy 260825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>among that there's the WICKLE!!! And she loves ms. ladybug on her rocker. She likes to read stories during the day as well. I have touch/feel ones that she likes. then there's color ones as well.</p> <p>We also love to just hold her with us when we're doing stuff around the house and telling her what we're doing. Like making coffee, vacuuming etc.</p> <p>She also likes to sit up on her boppy. She hates tummy time so I try to do sitting up more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-3-month-babies#post-260819 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 12:53:45 +0000 winniebee 260819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So as T has become more alert, playful, and more awake, I'm brainstorming ways to play with him that are fun for HIM. He's 13 weeks today. Here are our activities:</p> <p>- Playmat time (loves)<br /> - Chatting with him and cooing with him while he is sitting on my legs (I lean back to a reclined position and sit him in my lap leaning against my legs) (LOVES)<br /> - Helping him to baby situps (loves)<br /> - Bumbo time (likes for short periods)<br /> - Show him toys and stuffed animals (likes)<br /> - Read him books (only seems to like at night)<br /> - Bathtime (loves, but screams when done)<br /> - Swinging in swing (loves)<br /> - Bouncy seat (likes for 10 minute periods)<br /> - Stroller walks (likes, but falls asleep)<br /> - Tummy time (hates, screams)<br /> - Walk him around the house pointing out pictures, showing him things, letting him watch me cook, etc<br /> - TERRIBLE, but he likes watching TV. He sits super upright on dad's lap and is glued. I don't promote this, but my husband allows it. </p> <p>Sometimes I feel like we run out of things to do/I'm too repetitive.</p> <p>He doesn't like the baby bjorn yet and doesn't like the moby anymore, but I think he might like an outward facing wrap in the moby, need to look into it.</p> <p>What are your activities? </p>
