My nearly 6 month old boy seems to be in a bit of a transitional period. He used to stay on his play gym and in his bouncer chair happily for up to 30 minutes, allowing me to eat or do some chores. But now he gets bored after a few minutes an cries until picked up. The only thing he seems to really like is his jumperoo. He isn't even as enthusiastic as he used to be about walks or trips to the shops, he used to love looking at leaves on trees or lights in the shops. He just seems bored most of the time now. I read to him, which he usually likes, and he sometimes still enjoys his mobile and light show toy.
He can't roll, crawl or sit unaided yet. I wonder if he's a bit frustrated at not being mobile because his arms and legs go crazy when doing tummy time but he hasn'tworked out how to get on all fours to actually move. But maybe thus is why he hates being on his back now?
Would love to know what others do with 6 month old babies, as the days seem to be dragging on at the moment. Thanks!
