By Tammy Morey

Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

The following exercises were designed to help your baby work on many of these skills. Keep in mind they will stimulate your baby's entire body. Each time you perform the exercise, your baby is actually responding; her brain will be registering the action, and her muscles will be getting stronger.

Up like a rocket,
Down like a plane,
Back and forth like a Choo-choo train.
I can fly here,
I can fly there,
I can fly anywhere.

Begin by lying on your back and placing Baby on your tummy with her head toward your face and her feet toward your feet.

While saying the first line, with your hands firmly around her chest, raise her in the air and raise her toward your face. For the second line, bring her back down to your chest. For the third line, raise her up in the air, moving her in a forward and backward motion. Then raise her up like an airplane, and move her around in a circular motion for the last lines of the rhyme.

Brain building skills: Develops strength and balance
Muscles exercised: Head and neck, shoulders, upper and lower back
