Now Little T is four months old, he is definitely starting to get more engaged with his toys and surroundings. To keep him entertained and allow me to get on with some day-to-day activities, the following three items have been lifesavers:
The playmat: Although this is something I can't imagine us using much past Little T is six months old, his Skip Hop Alphabet Zoo Activity Gym is not only nicer to look at than your average baby accessory, but has adorable animals that rattle and play music that have become Little T's friends. We put Little T on the mat from when he was very little and although he would just stare blankly at the hanging toys, he can now grab and play with them. The mat is great for tummy time and as we have used it since Little T was a newborn, he is happy to be left to play for short periods, whilst I get on with some household jobs.
The bouncer: Although this is another product which I'm sure has a limited life span, Little T really enjoys going in his Fisher Price bouncer. I think that babies, particularly as they get a little bigger, really enjoy being able to sit up and see what's going on and what you are getting up to. As I can strap Little T into the bouncer, I know that he is safe if I need to turn my back for a moment!
The playnest: As Little T is getting a bit older, it's great to have another place for him to safely play and this Galt Farm Playnest does the job perfectly. As it is an inflatable ring, it is super comfy for Little T and easy to store once deflated.
