At that age, just being there and talking to her is more than enough. As she gets older, get her out into different environments, just to experience it. Leaves moving in the breeze is waaaaaay fascinating.
You don't have to *do* anything, really. Just interact with her and expose her to different stimuli - things to look at, things to touch, things to taste. That's it. You dont' need fancy classes or special toys or organised activities. Kids love doing things with mum, so you can just work it into your routine (when she's older I mean), so they cook with you, clean with you, go to the toilet with you, etc, etc.
Getting out to mums groups, ABA or playgroup can be a great way for you to get much needed adult time
I read to DS from the time he was a month old... More for my own amusement and because like you i didnt know what to do to stimulate them and help them learn but I think it was a good idea, it got me used to reading stories every night or in the afternoon and we still do it everyday and he can practically read. he actually read a few ( probably off memory) and corrects me if I try to change the story on him if I m not reading properly And hes only 2.5yrs old now....
But you are doing plenty already.... this is the only other thing I can think of atm....
