My due date is 3 months away and I'm lucky enough to have 12 months off for maternity leave. I'm getting excited thinking about the activities I might be able to do with her once she's alert and taking the world in a little more. I've found some things like weekly story time at the library and structured swim times for parents and kids as young as 3 - 6 months. I'm curious, do you/did you engage in any structured activities like this during the first year? What did you do? Thanks!

We did an infant massage class when LO was 8-12 weeks old. We will be starting a baby Picasso (art) class next week and he is 8 months old. We also frequently go to baby & me drop-ins where you just bring your LO into a centre and they get to play with toys and other babies. The drop-ins are more appropriate (or at least entertaining) when your LO can sit unassisted.
ETA: my friend who has a LO close in age also does kindermusik and baby Zumba. I didn't want to pay the astronomical price for kindermusik and I'm totally not into Zumba :).

Oh yeah, TONS of stuff. At first it's just for your benefit, but I think it's really valuable. I started going to the library story hour when mine was just a few months old, and the science museum (with an awesome kids playground) when she was old enough to start grabbing at things. The zoo is still mostly fun for me, but she enjoys looking at everything.

My lo is almost 3 months old and I was thinking of going to the library story time. I'm not sure how she will do but I figure I can just leave if she gets fussy. I want her to be around more people since I'm staying home and we don't see too many faces!
