What games do you play with your babies?
What are your babies favorite games?
Cailen loves the following:
when I wiggle my fingers around and "bop" him all over his body with my fingertip (light poke/tickle), naming the body parts - I will also circle my finger in front of his face and "ding dong" his nose (he loooves that!!!)
when I bicycle his legs back and forth, saying "run away.... run away..."
when I take my palm and vibrate his chest saying "whoooooaaaaa...."
When I grab his hands, shake his arms really fast and hum the lone ranger tune
bounce him fast on my knees and hum the bonanza tune (I doubt the tunes really matter though!)
If your happy and you know it... clap your feet!  (and hands, stamp feet, shout hooray... etc)
When I put him in his Boppy, or Bouncy, and run back and forth in front of him making silly faces and noises, sneaking from behind and looking at him upside down
Putting him in his Bumbo seat and moving it around like a bumper car
And the one Sophie (smdl) taught us in massage - taking his feet to his opposite hand
Share your favorite games!

I'm not quite as creative as you. I usually play "I'm gonna get your nose" and touch my nose to hers. Or I make her plus fishies touch her nose and cheeks. That gets her all squeaky and excited. I also have a "Five Little Monkeys" book that came with a hand puppet, so I play that a lot with her. Of course with exaggerated singing and smiles and surely she is thinking what the heck is this woman doing LOL.

Re: What games do you play with your babies?
DD LOVES when I sing wheels on the bus and move her legs in circles, beep her nose, rock her back and forth as the wipers swish - you get the point She would let me do that all day if I had the energy too.
She also loves that song from the Sound of Music "Doe a deer a female deer, Ray a drop of golden sun...etc" I make her do hand and arm gestures that go with the words as I sing....
oh her real favorite was something I read in a book to help strengthen their necks - You sit her up facing you inbetween your legs. Hold her hands or wrists - and gently pull her toward you as you lean back, then push her away as you lean forward, etc while singing "Row, Row, Row your boat" That one gets loud giggles every time.
There's "eat the baby" - where I gobble her up with kisses
there's a ton more, but those are her favs

Logan and I play that one too.
But mostly we play "Please don't cry" and "You want to eat AGAIN?"
Those are his favorite games.

Re: What games do you play with your babies?
DD loves to watch people/things sing and dance for her. She likes it when her Mickey or Pooh bear dance for her really fast.
But her favorite is watching mommy dance for her and with her. We put on music and I will sing/lip sync and dance with her. She loves it! (OMG I am so embarassed  )
She also likes clapping along to "If you're happy and you know it" She cracks up!

Re: What games do you play with your babies?
DD loves when we play "this little piggie goes to market", when I make rasberries on her belly, when DH moves her arms and legs really fast saying, move those legs, move those arms and pretending she is in a race, when DH and I sing to her, and her all time favorite, she has this teething rattle in the shape of a butterfly and I pull it away from her face really slowly and then move it back towards her, saying WHOA- she loves this for some reason. It always makes her giggle.
