okay his reaction to this toy copying him back was taking me out 😂 it repeats sounds and vibrates when you talk to it, and he just kept “talking” to it over and over lol as an OT, i love how naturally it encouraged engagement, vocal interaction, and bringing both hands to midline while he held it 🫶 linked it because it’s on sale right now and honestly too cute not to 😂 #tiktokshop #babytoy #babytok #3monthsold #firsttimemom

the hardest part of being a working mom is wishing i never had to leave him 🤍 #workingmom #momlife #sentimental #firsttimemom #postpartum

joint attention is one of the foundational skills for learning, communication, and social development. it happens when you and your baby share focus on the same object or activity, helping them connect what you’re saying with what they’re seeing and experiencing. try using an anticipation game like “ready, set, go!” pause before saying “go” and give your baby time to look toward you, vocalize, gesture, or otherwise signal that they want you to continue. it’s a simple way to create opportunities for connection and early communication during play! remember, every baby develops at their own pace, and their response may look different depending on their age and stage 🤍 #occupationaltherapist #babytoys #babydevelopment #firsttimemom #tiktokshop

a reminder that you don’t need fancy activities to support your baby’s development. some of the biggest learning moments happen during your everyday routine 🤍 #occupationaltherapist #babydevelopment #firsttimemom #wakewindows #realmotherhood

sharing a few of the ways we supported sitting through play 🤍 every baby develops on their own timeline, but these are some of the activities we enjoyed together. tummy time was always our biggest focus, and everything else was just playful, supported practice! always stay close by, provide support as needed, and follow your baby’s cues 🤍 save this for later if you’re looking for playful ways to support sitting! #occupationaltherapist #firsttimemom #babydevelopment #babyplay #babytoys
