Q. I am a SAHM with my 14 month old daughter. She is a very busy girl and I am finding that she is getting really bored with our usual activities. She likes to play outside, but it is really rainy for most of the year where we live so going outside is difficult. She also puts absolutely everything in her mouth so crayons, paper, etc, won't work. We read books a lot and stack blocks and stuff, but she really doesn't really play with many other toys. Any real suggestions would be great! Thanks!
A. Keep offering the crayons and coloring books, just discourage her from putting them in her mouth. That is how she learns!
Puzzles (the wooden ones with pegs are great for that age).
Blow bubbles.
Google the recipe for edible playdough.
Look for Story Stretchers on Amazon. There is a version for infants/toddlers. It gives ideas to turn favorite children's story books into math, science, games, music, arts and crafts and even snacks!
If you can, look for an activity such as Mommy & Me gymnastics or Gymboree that you both can participate in.
Look for a local playgroup at http://groups.yahoo.com
If you can, visit the local petting zoo, children's museum, etc. Most book stores and/or libraries have story times for little ones.
Sing, dance, let her help you clean (my little one would help 'fold' the wash cloths, likes to take a baby wipe and 'dust' the fireplace insert, etc).
Purchase some musical instruments, puppets, etc.
One of my last few answers might have some other ideas you want to incorporate, so check that out-it is for an older toddler, but a lot you could probably use as well.
I hope this helps, and wish you the best!

Where can I find a plush Chihuahua that doesn't have a plastic nose or eyes?
Q. I was to buy the stuffed animal for a baby. However, all of the Chihuahua plush animals that I can find online have plastic eyes and/or noses, which I know infants aren't really supposed to play with. Any idea where to get one without plastic pieces?
A. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Chihuahua+plush+toys&ih=8_3_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_1.97_388&fsc=-1 i think chip the chihuahua works the best
