Book read:
Look at the Baby by Kelly Johnson

Hippity Hop (from Perry Public Library)
Hip, hip, hippety hop, (bounce baby)
Hippity, hippety hop,
We'll hop around the room today,
Until it's time to stop! (stop)

These are baby's fingers (from Perry Public Library)
These are baby's fingers, (wiggle fingers)
These are baby's toes, (wiggle toes)
This is baby's belly button,
Round and round it goes. (circle finger on belly)
These are baby's eyes, (point to eyes)
And this is baby's nose, (touch nose)
And this is baby's bellybutton, (tickle tummy)
Right where Mommy blows! (blow raspberry on baby's tummy)

Green says "Go!" (adapted from Storytime Katie)
Green says "Go!" (bounce quickly)
Go! Go! Go!
Yellow says "Slow!" (bounce slowly)
Slow! Slow! Slow!
Red says "Stop!" (freeze)
Go! Go! Go! (bounce quickly)
Slow! Slow! Slow! (bounce slowly)
and STOP! (stop)

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

My Pony Macaroni (from Eugene Library)
I have a little pony (bounce baby)
His name is Macaroni.
He trots and trots and then he STOPS! (stop)
My funny little pony!

Bumpin' up and down (from Deschutes Library)
Bumpin' up and down in my little red wagon, (bounce baby)
Bumpin' up and down in my little red wagon,
Bumpin' up and down in my little red wagon,
Won't you be my darlin'?
One wheel's off and the axle's broken, (tilt baby to left)
One wheel's off and the axle's broken, (tilt baby to right)
One wheel's off and the axle's broken, (tilt baby to the left)
Won't you be my darlin'?

Pop Goes the Weasel
All around the mulberry bush, (bounce baby)
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought was all in fun.
Pop goes the weasel! (lift baby up)

A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel!

I'm a little cuckoo clock (from Born to Read)
Tick tock, tick tock, (rock baby)
I'm a little cuckoo clock!
Tick tock, tick tock,
It's one o'clock!
CUCKOO! (lift baby once)

Tick tock, tick tock,
I'm a little cuckoo clock!
Tick tock, tick tock,
It's two o'clock!
CUCKOO! CUCKOO! (lift baby twice) 

Wheels on the Bus 

Literacy tip of the week: Songs and books that label body parts and other objects (such as "Look at the Baby") are a great way to build your baby's vocabulary.
