Games are more than just fun.
Play with your baby by quietly talking, singing or reading to her, or smiling at her. Even though she is a newborn, she will respond by listening to you and will love the attention. As she grows older, she will reward you with a smile, a coo, or a gurgle and will try to reach for you. Make a Memory Book Save the front page of the newspaper on the day your baby was born, and any public announcement of his birth. Use these items to start a memory book.
