Oh my gosh! Congratulations! Well, I am only 11 but I was 5 months old once so take this advice & u will love it!
Well, I have 2 sisters & my mom takes care of us & tries her hardest so here is my best shot.....
If ur baby is only 5 months old, u might want to start simple & work ur way up.
Start with learning, then move onto fun. Trust me, u will move on better in life like my mom does & did. Go either to Target or Walmart, (those r the best selections). Pick something like puzzles like four piecers & sit by her side. Then move on to, 6,8,10, & so fourth. The older they get, the better the will get. I know u might think this is a little early, but start teaching her to walk not talk. Talking could cause serious damage when ur young like that if u want to teach her. You can take a risk if u want to. Start walking simple, take her on a bed so If she falls she does not get hurt & it helps her balance. What also helps her balance would be take 6 small kid chairs & face them toward each other spread apart so she can fit. Have her put her hands where ur spose to sit & she will have it down in no time! If this is ur first baby, u might well feel that ur not doing what u r spose to be doing. Onto fun, give her ice cream every week & she will love it! My mom did the same thing! Half a scoop is fine. Do not give her ice cream with chunks in it! I choked on mine when I was that age & then my mom gave me vanilla. Also keep her binki in her mouth as much as possible so u do not feel stress. You can also going yoga if u have time it it awesome! It releaves stress. Quikly to. You can also print them off ur computer. Get her toys that r not hard. She could hurt herself real bad if they are! Well, u have to be the responsible parent & do the rest yourself. Follow my plans & ur baby is all yours. Good luck!

my son is about the same age, he is 4 1/2 months. i feel like this sometimes to because they get bored with things so quickly and you run out of stuff to entertain them with. so about 2 weeks ago i went to tartget and bought my son a jumper/jumperoo. he loves it!! you should definitely check them out!! and they are so cute to watch jumping. i got him the jungle one, it has a lot of colors and music and toys for them to entertain themselves. good luck!!

It can get hard day after day trying to come up with ways to pass the time & entertain ur little one! Once ur baby sits by themselves that is a big step (do not know if yours is or not) but at 5 months my son was, & we have a very hyperactive dog, so she just ran around him in circles all day & he would laugh :-) And I always have music on in the house, so we too would sing & read books a lot. We also had an exersaucer (if u have the money to spend it is a good buy) so he could keep occupied while I was in the kitchen & we would move it all over the house. I'd just keep doing what ur doing. sounds like you're doing a great job. Switching rooms periodically makes a big difference too! Good luck!

yup totally normal. sounds like you are doing everything you can do.

with my son i just rotate toys all day and take trips to the store, park or mall, go on walks, etc

you could get a jumperoo or exersaucer, at that age your baby might enjoy those.

i try to find things around the house that may interest him, pots, pans, spatulas, etc.

my son is crawling so now i mostly try to keep him from getting in to trouble!
