New Mom
We currently have the Summer Infant Newborn tub http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Newborn-Toddler-Fold/dp/B000BYBWI4 but our 19 mo old is getting to big for it (we do not have an actual bathtub in our house, only a large shower stall). Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Well, my mom has the same problem, so when we visited her I would just put a washcloth/plug in the drain and watch the kids. Of course, it would probably be more fun to buy:
#1: A TOY/storage BIN (you know those big round ones from walmart) and fill it up, just like they did in the olden days. You could also by a hook-on shower hose, for easier tub filling and easier washing of kiddo. If the wash bin was small enough you could just stick it in the shower stall, (which saves you from mopping the bathroom floor later). She is just the right size for one of these!
#2: you could get a small HARD plastic kiddy/pet pool (we went with the "pet" one, due to space concerns) and put it on the bathroom or kitchen floor and let her splash in that. Then during the summer she could splash outside in it too. I admit to now using the one we have on the back porch, as a fun outside 'bath' on sunny days.
The upside of these, esp. the toy bin is that you could even put it on a towel on the kitchen floor and then it would be easier to watch her while you worked. When she outgrows the toy bin, you could actually use it for toys!

FIRST BABY. I am learning to parent. Any good suggestions for me. I do think I am doing good so far. I am open to any thoughts. ANY GOOD ADVICE for a new mom... Thanks a bunch.
Answer
babies this age love to experiment and discover.
walks in the park or around your neighborhood are a great idea. during the hot summer months-try the local kiddie pool for some water fun.
when at home
-if she's sitting on her own (or with the help of a baby seat) give her some pots,pans and a spoon. she will love this new game of making music on her own.
-put some cheerios in a tupperware container and let her shake it.
-a large bowl or container of water and colorful bath toys to splash around with
-do some research online or check with your city's local parks and recreation center to see about "mommy and me" classes or play groups in your area.
-some gyms have infant classes or mom and me classes you can take with her. this will introduce her to other babies and give you some time around adults too.
hope this helps!! enjoy her-they grow so fast!!
