[quote=Anonymous]6-9 months is tough--not really big enough for activities, but too big to just sit around all day. Things I do with the kid at that age: Sensory bags Sensory books Songs/finger plays (too young to get it, but it's fun to watch them gradually figure it out) Start teaching baby signs Read poetry/nursery rhymes Things I do as a nanny to pass the time: Make and freeze homemade baby purees Research activities/outings/organizations in our area Research developmental milestones and activities that bolster them Work on a portfolio of ideas for activities later on I think getting out to an activity or errands twice a week sounds reasonable, but yo could talk to them about expanding to 3 days per week and maybe adding some time outdoors on the other two days (if it's cold and dry, you can at least walk outside for 5 minutes for fresh air and vitamin D--helps with cabin fever an helps baby nap better![/quote]
