How does your baby like to play?

[sparklestars]

Might sound a strange question, but as a first time mum I just wondered what sort of games or activities you do/did to play with your baby? Charlotte is 8 months old now and I do sometimes struggle to know what sorts of things to do ‘with’ her? I’m not sure if I’m very in touch with my ‘inner child’ lol and my mum seems to have far more of a knack at playfully interacting with her than I do . I’ve got plenty of toys for her to play with but I don’t want to keep just ‘giving’ her things and leaving her to it, so I was hoping to find some games or activities I can do ‘with’ her….or am I trying to run before I (or she for that matter!) can walk here and being a ‘pushy mommy’ ?! We’ve done the hand clapping things/bouncing her up and down/tickling her tummy etc but she seems to get bored quickly. I can’t wait for the stage where I can glue bits of pasta and glitter onto paper….or splash round with pots of poster paint and tissue paper….but I guess that’s a bit much to expect of her yet lol. So has anyone any ideas they could share please?

Thanks
