So we bought him the mirror in the matching set so he could stare at himself during tummy time. He loves looking at himself in mirrors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-activity-mat-has-a-mirror#post-791301 Fri, 17 May 2013 12:26:30 +0000 shopaholic 791301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smurfette: all my baby apps have been talking about mirrors and encouraging them since about week 8! Sounds like R us right on track! I just ordered a floor mirror because the one on our mat is flat on the mat and doesn't quite like tummy time that much and I feel like her face is too close to the mirror. But she loves checking us out in the bathroom mirrors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-activity-mat-has-a-mirror#post-791289 Fri, 17 May 2013 12:23:33 +0000 oliviaoblivia 791289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't get the play gym until she was ten weeks, so she was already grabbing stuff, but the mirror on her swing was her favorite part. Now we talk to "that baby" everywhere we go - she looooves her own reflection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-activity-mat-has-a-mirror#post-791221 Fri, 17 May 2013 12:08:26 +0000 chopsuey 791221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe my kids love looking at themselves in the mirror, but they like(d) playing with the hanging stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-activity-mat-has-a-mirror#post-791217 Fri, 17 May 2013 12:07:18 +0000 MamaMoose 791217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I think about 4 months is when she really started playing with the toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-activity-mat-has-a-mirror#post-791195 Fri, 17 May 2013 12:00:28 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 791195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When our son was still little (3 months-ish), he LOVED toys with mirrors. Now at 8 months, he gives himself the hugest grin when he sees himself in a mirror. I call his reflection "Your favorite person!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-activity-mat-has-a-mirror#post-791183 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:58:02 +0000 Smurfette 791183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: when was that? It cracks me up that she just looks at herself. I try and get her to play with the toys but so far no luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-activity-mat-has-a-mirror#post-791149 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:51:16 +0000 MamaMoose 791149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: We have the same piano one and M stared at herself HARD CORE until she was old enough to really grab the toys (and try to pull them down to her mouth) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-activity-mat-has-a-mirror#post-791142 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:49:47 +0000 MsLipGloss 791142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing to her a lot too . . . and when I am holding her we always stop when we pass a mirror and I sing a little song I made up for her (titled "Cutie Patootie") and dance with her in my arms. She loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-activity-mat-has-a-mirror#post-791137 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:48:45 +0000 MsLipGloss 791137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahaha - sometimes! But my LO is really attracted to the toys that (1) have solid nommable surfaces, and (2) toys that make a crinkle-y sound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-activity-mat-has-a-mirror#post-791130 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:47:40 +0000 Smurfette 791130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your LO just look at their reflection?</p> <p> R doesn't play with the tous hanging, girlfriend just likes to stare at herself. She does kick so the piano plays music but I don't think she knows she is making the music yet. </p>
