Question: What are some fun activities to do with 9-month old?
I already do a lot of the standard stuff (play Peek-a-boo, read book, sing songs) but I am always looking for new ways of entertaining and educating my baby girl. Please share your ideas and favorite baby activities with me. Thanks.
The following is the answer:

whenver I babysit the 9 month year old twins, I always like taking them on walks in a stroller, to the local icecream shop in the spring.. In the fall i like to take them to the park and play with them in the leaves, even they are young, they LOVE IT! in the winter, stay inside and play the peek a boo’s and reading.. and in the summer take her swimming.. Get her a little baby boat.. babys love the water, and if its to cold, try playing with her in a jacuzzi in your bathroom.. Without the bubbles.. But obviously throughout the whole thing try teaching her things.. I hope you got some ideas. Have fun with your little doll!

My son is 8 and a half months. I love that he is getting more interactive. I throw him on the bed (making very sure that he goes back first). He loves it! I throw him in the air. He LOVES being held upside down!! That is his favorite. When he is in the high chair (with wheels) I spin him in circles.
He is a very gentle boy though and is not as rough as my daughter was at that age. So if he is not in the mood for those games I get him to ‘help me make the bed’ in the morning. I lay him on the bed and throw the first blanket in the air and let it float down on him. Than I take his feet and slide him out and put him on top of that blanket and to it with the next one. We do this till the whole bed is made.
Another thing we do on my bed is that when he rolls away from me or crawls away (almost crawling, lol), I will pretend to be upset (in a play way) and he gets so excited. I take him and turn him back over onto his back and say “NOW, you stay there!” He grins real big and rolls to his tummy again, lol.. that little twinkle is priceless.
I also get on the floor with him. I play with his toys with him and read books down there… and boy does the world look different from 4 inches off the floor! Gives me whole new ideas for baby proofing the house!
We do alot of cuddle time and when a good song is on the radio, we turn it up and dance. He loves it. Slow or fast songs… he loves it all.
Sometimes I take his hands and do baby sign hand over hand.
For rewards for him listening, I do lots of happy voice and touching his face. He loves having his face touched.
He play this back and forth game with the soother. I put it in his mouth and act like he stole it from me. He does that to me now.. will put his soother in my mouth and grab it back, lol. Too cute!
He learns from all of this. Fun energy is the best way to learn.
OH, infant massage is great too! He is very sensitive on his skin. I tickle him, give him the shivers, give a back rub, or even take one finger and gently trace it all over his skin… he loves that last one, especially when we are cuddling.

the best advice I got was from a mother of 5…she said to incorporate your little ones in your life and the things you like doing. If you like the bookstore take them along with you and read to them, window shopping take them and stroll around the mall, etc…I loved taking my son to the zoo and the park.

Some ideas…
-Take her for a walk. Put her in the stroller and go on down the street, or maybe to a park
-Play a few learning games with her, stimulate her mind. You can do these such things:
1. Place transparent scotch tape on the back of her hand and watch her peel it off, or help her peel it off. It’ll be entertaining for the both of you
2. Hide some different toys of hers around the room and let her find them, just don’t make it too difficult
3. Put on some music while you clean and let her kind of help you clean

Put her in a sling or stroller and go places – a restaurant, bookstore, library, coffee shop, museum, zoo, shopping, etc. Wherever you want to go, take your baby along and point out interesting things along the way.
If you’re looking for more organized activities, most communities have playgroups or mom-and-me type activities. Check with your library or community center. If there’s a Music Together program in your town, I highly recommend it. It’s a fabulous program for babies and young children. http://musictogether.com/Home

Play Ball…..roll a small ball to her. Chances are she may roll it right back…in her own little way or chase after it.
