Kellie - It's hard to think of things to do with such a young baby! I spend some time with him on my lap after a feed because he needs to be upright for a while and I talk to him, then I put him on the floor with one of those A-frame play gyms that has toys hanging down over him. He likes to look at the toys and tries to reach out to them. I have a musical toy that I put in front of him for tummy time and he seems to like it. Sometimes I put him in his rocker and take him outside while I hang out the washing so he can look around. Sometimes we just sit outside or we go for a walk in the pram (but this usually leads to sleep time!).

I was told when Joel was a baby that little babies like to look at basic black and white things, like you could get a paper plate and draw a simple face on it in black texta. Kieran and my friend's 8 week old bub both like to look at the picture frames hanging above our couch, it's really weird! Sorry, I'm getting off the track with the topic!
