what do you do with your baby all day?

Jake is now 7 months and its so hard to find things to do with him all day long. He still is not very good at sitting up on his own so he gets fustrated playing with his toys on his belly. He just likes to be in his mommies arms all day long, and it is starting to drive me crazy. I put him in the excasaucer, on his mat, in his swing, but as soon as I walk away or he sees me, he will just cry until I go get him. HELP!!!!

Thanks. Do'nt get me wrong, we go for alot of walks, go to the playground everyday and he always helps mommy water the flowers. Its when we are inside that he will not leave me for 1 second. We loved the Wiggles and Sesame Street.

I just wanted to see what everyone else did all day and when your child really started to play on their own.

Thanks

Hey Dee -

For us it depends on the day. This morning she has no desire to play with any of her toys, is practically jumping out of my arms and is definitely in one of her "moods". I just put her in the jumparoo and threw on a Baby Einstein video to help calm her down. After this she'll watch Dora and go down for a nap. This afternoon we'll go out and do some errands and then another nap. We always go for a little walk after dinner. I'd love to take her to the park but I don't really have any "infant friendly" ones by me.

thanks Lori - How are you feeling? Did your husband love his fathers day pictures? They really came out beautiful. Where do you live? Maybe we can get together with the kiddies one day.

When marissa wasn't able to sit up by herself yet I would put a boppy pillow behind her and let her sit up that wayand play with some things that would light up and make music

well marissa gets in her moods I put her in the jump-a-roo and will put on barney or baby einstien or even elmo she will sit there and watch them and she will have a ball just jumping in that. Also I have an exasaucer that she will go in here and there but not really liking that too much. I have a vibrating rocking chair that she loves to watch tv as well and often falls alsepp in it. She has toys that she likes to play with but her favorite things are the phone and the remotes also pulling herself up and trying to grab things she shouldn't. Also take her to the park and go for walks.
