@misslou My baby has just turned 4 months but here is some stuff we do. (I use the Kinedu app for ideas and lessons now)
Slow down the diaper change. Use it as a chance to play and bond. You can give her little baby arm,leg and foot massage. Throw in a minute of tummy time at the end. Play cute little games like "The Claw" (it was a tickle game my dad use to play with me where he pretended his hand was sentient and wished for nothing more than to tickle me. It'd start with a single gentle finger for a baby tho lol)
You can help her practice her roll by slowly and gently rolling her over at the waist. Make sure you do both directions.
Lay her on a surface then pick her up under her arms and carefully lift her up over your head until shes flatish in the air on her belly like superman. Sometimes we add some whooshing and swooshing.
You can put her in a bouncer and talk to her while moving around the room in and out of her sight. See if she can find you/look your direction.
Play head shoulders knees and toes. I alternate between using her hands, to the best of her ability, and mine.
Sign and Sing some baby sign language songs.
Practice holding things or giving her toys to hold and inspect like a rattle. Mine just eats them. Hasn't rattled them yet.
Let her practice standing on my lap as it's still her favorite activity ever since she was strong enough to do so.
