She's started throwing them too, but I think it's mostly just her loosing her grip while swinging them. She has a few toys that are more interactive now and she likes to hit them to spin little pieces etc.</p> <p>@caffeinated: Fun idea with the blanket ride, totally doing this when LO wakes up!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-play-with-toys#post-377342 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 09:32:40 +0000 Freckles 377342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: omg, it's so annoying! </p> <p>LO still puts everything in her mouth. Ever since last month, she finally noticed the hanging animals in her jumperoo and would try to grab them and bring it to her mouth. I was afraid she was going to snap the toy off since it was so far away from her. When i put her in the packnplay, she basically goes from toy to toy.</p> <p>I love doing the "hokey pokey" with LO in front of the mirror, and i sometimes give her a "ride" on the blanket. I put her tummy down on the blanket, and drag the blanket across the room while playing music. She loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-play-with-toys#post-377326 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 09:05:22 +0000 Springtime 377326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha my LO totally bangs stuff too. He picks everything up and will try to eat it first then bangs it against other stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-play-with-toys#post-377297 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 08:08:45 +0000 pastemoo 377297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: That is really cute.<br /> @Crumbs: Hahha. My mom calls that the "highchair magician stage" -- it's gone--hey mommy made it reappear!<br /> @winniebee: Hitting. Fun. It totally cracks me up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-play-with-toys#post-377285 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 07:42:57 +0000 winniebee 377285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 5.5 months and just gnaws on them mostly....though lately he has been banging everythiung. His new favorite thing to do is hit hit hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-play-with-toys#post-377283 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 07:41:30 +0000 SugarplumsMom 377283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gawd, I almost forgot her new fave thing: dropping things on the floor and having me pick them up :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-play-with-toys#post-377282 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 07:40:55 +0000 SugarplumsMom 377282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 4 mons and basically puts everything in her mouth. It always starts with staring at it, then grabbing it, then into her mouth. Right now she's playing with her baby gym. She likes to pull on the hanging toys and try to get them into her mouth. They rattle and chime, but mainly it'be because she likes tugging on them.</p> <p>Oh and one of her fave things has been spinning a ball with little things inside them (attached to a baby chair and another on the jumperoo).</p> <p>My fave part of playing with her is actually without the toys. Just standing her up and talking to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-play-with-toys#post-377281 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 07:40:55 +0000 Sammyfab 377281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He puts just about every toy in his mouth. He also picks them up, inspects them, passes them from hand to hand, drops them then picks them back up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-lo-play-with-toys#post-377268 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 07:23:35 +0000 pastemoo 377268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How does your LO play with toys?<br /> My LO is 5 months and he "plays" by chewing or (this is my favorite) grabbing it and banging it on the floor behind his head and then into his thigh-- BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!</p> <p>And today he grabbed this GIGANTIC elephant toy, hardly smaller than himself, and started swinging it back and forth. I had to laugh. He looked so startled because I usually don't laugh when he's swinging toys.<br /> It was a great moment!</p> <p>How does your LO play with toys? What is your favorite part about playing with your LO? </p>
