Cabin Fever
When Mommy got pregnant I knew the first six month were going to be really hard. Not just because raising an infant is hard, but because the first six months would be during winter. Today there is over a foot of snow everywhere, with more expected to fall. Mommy is working and Baby and I are really bored. Coming up with activities for us to do has been tough in the last couple months. For starters, she’s a baby, and I know little about that. Second, she’s a baby, and she knows little about anything. Quite the team.
So far, the normal awake session goes something like this: Bottle, Exersaucer, diaper change, funny faces, singing, solid feeding, sit ups, push ups, squats, more funny faces, play on the floor, book, nap. Rinse and repeat. It’s beginning to get old. On nice days we take a walk, and I may today even though it’s not so nice. Some days we have people over or go visit people at their house. It’s odd how there’s not enough hours in the day to do stuff I need to do, and too many hours to have to occupy the baby.
So Tumblr, I need some suggestions. What do you do with a five month old in the middle of winter?

Put the baby in the ergo and bake youreself some cookies. Consume entire batch of cookies out of boredom. Repeat untill you fall into food coma or Mummy comes home. That’s not helpful is it? Um, maybe you could blow some bubbles? Make some playdough?
