I'm kind of running out of ideas of things to do with Samira and wanted to pick all your brains on that matter!
Samira is getting bored of her playmat, her cuddly toys and her rattles, and there are only so many hours a day I am willing to sing all the lullabies and nursery rhymes in my repertoire and read her all her books...
I've never had this problem with my older 2, as by the age of 5 months they were accomplished rollers and entertained themselves by wreaking havoc around the house. But Samira has rolled over from back to front 3 times and has decided that that's enough, so now she just lies around bored and annoyed most of the time. Any ideas?
I don't really want to go down the jumparoo route, as one of my best friends is a physiotherapist and has advised me against these, as well as any other type of toys that make babies sit or stand up before they can do so unaided (which Samira can't). (I know many ladies here use these toys, I don't mean to undermine anybody's choices at all, I've just decided for us that we're going to stear clear).
Can anybody recommend any brilliant, interesting toys, or has any ideas of fun games to play with a 5-month-old? I appreciate your input! Thanks!
