Every night we play tickle monster and she loves it when I get her cheeks when she's laying down on a blanket. She is also starting to find tummy raspberries hillarous and laughs a big belly laugh when I do that. I could listen to that sound all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-really-playing-wih-baby#post-466131 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 09:47:39 +0000 autumnlove 466131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 3 months for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-really-playing-wih-baby#post-466127 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 09:45:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 466127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11-12 weeks he became really intrigued by the play may and swatting at toys, he didnt mind tummy time if I did it with him, or if he laid on my chest to do it. But it was only about 10-20 mins of play before moving onto something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-really-playing-wih-baby#post-466125 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 09:42:44 +0000 mrs. wagon 466125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once she started laughing at things I did that were supposed to be fun. Probably around 3 months? 4 months? Now she can reach for things so playing is really getting fun (5.5 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-really-playing-wih-baby#post-465950 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 00:00:49 +0000 junebugmama 465950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was 3 months before I really felt like we were playing and fully interacting. Now at 7 months he's a blast to play with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-really-playing-wih-baby#post-465948 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 23:58:26 +0000 mrskc 465948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's about all you can do with them at that age. You're LOs fav toy! My LO just loves to watch me talk and sing to him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-really-playing-wih-baby#post-465942 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 23:52:44 +0000 littlecasita1122 465942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started showing him rattles, stuffed animals, and other toys around 6 weeks. He couldn't grab anything at that point but I could tell he was trying to figure everything out and was really excited to see colorful toys. Other than that we did a lot of time on the activity mat and if it was nice out, I would lay a blanket outside so he could feel the breeze and look up at the trees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-really-playing-wih-baby#post-465889 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 22:52:56 +0000 Periwinkle 465889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our son is 7 weeks old today and while we spend a lot of time talking to him, exploring while we're out and about, and hanging out/interacting on his activity mat, I am not sure if we're "playing" as much as we should be now.</p> <p>When did you start playing more and what kinds of activities did you like early on?</p> <p>(Ughhhh just realized this is miscategorized!!!! So sorry) </p>
