A Few of Our Favourite Things

Three months with my little man have flown by- even though some days have been long. Having a winter baby in the middle of a pandemic can be hard at times, but we are doing our best to have fun and keep busy during his wake time!

Here are a few of our favourite things that have kept Baby I busy and have helped him develop during these first few months of life! 

Tummy Time

The Lovevery Play Gym has been his playground during tummy time and floor time. When laying on his back Baby I can look at black and white images and follow the sound of the rings. When he is on his tummy, he listens to the crinkling and squeaking sounds from the "Making Sounds" section and lifts his head to look at images in the "Learn to Focus Zone". Recently, I added an acrylic mirror from Ikea for him to look at himself while on his tummy and back.

Since babies can only see in black and white, I also added a set of art cards from Wee Gallery, as well as their soft book of animals on the farm (I love using this as we sing "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"). Placing these high contrast images around his play gym have helped Baby I to strengthen his cognitive abilities, attention span, and gross motor skills.

In addition to the rings on the play gym, we added a shaker, chime ball, and wrist rattles to our playtime. Baby I enjoys when we sing songs and use the rattles during movements like up, down, fast, and slow. He is able to follow the path of the rattles and chime ball with his eyes. Recently, he has started to bat at the rings and rattles, as well as grasp them when I place them between his fingers.

I can't wait to see what new developments Baby I makes as he enters into his third month. It is truly a joy to watch him learn and grow!
