An area of his own....

Beck's spot has become the area behind the couch--which happens to be right between the living room and the kitchen. Perfect because I can keep an eye on him from both places.
We spread a small quilt for him. I sometimes move the Munari in for him to look at--I "hang" it by putting some heavy books on the dowel, sticking out from the couch. We also offer him one or two simple, beautiful toys to grasp. Often his sister will read him a book or talk to him while he's playing. He spends a great deal of his awake time here--rolling, babbling, looking around....
I've also placed a mirror leaned back against the couch for him to look into.

I'll be posting more about some of the simple, homemade baby toys we offer our little man!

Sometimes we use a pillow or boppy to prop him up a bit so he can see the story!
