My baby love to she pictures. So, I let her to see the pictures of our family album, Magazine photographs as well check out my scrapbook together. I usually point out the funniest pictures that make her laugh and enjoy.

Some important things to do with your baby are to spend a lot of time holding, playing and speaking with him/her. Babies from age 0 to 1 year are in the Trust vs Mistrust stage of psycho social development. They are looking to their environment via the primary caregiver (usually the mother) for care and security/balance. Holding them, playing with them and making them feel loved will assure them that their environment is a safe place and they will attain the virtue of hope and will grow into trusting adults for the most part. If they feel a sense of mistrust during this stage they will grow into pessimistic adults. Also this is the sensorimotor period where their senses are being developed. So talking to them, reading to them, singing to them will develop their sense of hearing. Holding them close will also develop their sense of smell. Babies recognize their mothers by her smell and also by the sound of the mother’s heartbeats. Babies are such a joy to be around and they are so dependent on us. Enjoy your baby and take lots of photos because they grow up so quickly!

I try and spend as much time with mine as possible and play with them whenever I have time. There is no way you can play with your babies too much =)
