Live it one day at a time with no rush. Spend as much time teaching, loving and caring for your little one as possible. When our daughter was 6 months we started the Love and learning program she is now 3 and reads around 312 words! She can read the level one books and some level 2 of the earlier readers, and signing time, knows over 300 signs.
Also, there are some mommie and baby classes in our town.
We also are members at the local Gymboree Class.
Here are the websites that I mention
http://www.loveandlearning.com/
http://www.signingtime.com/
http://www.gymboreeclasses.com/b2c/customer/home.jsp
also here are some good activites to do at home
We fill a large plastic pool and fill it with popcorn kernals, though your child is to young for this. We use this inside of a sand box.
We also use pudding to paint with, you could do this with your child now.
There is so much, feel free to email me if you would like more ideas.

Well, we would get up and have breakfast, usually cereal and fruit for her, she would have a bottle. Then we would usually go for a walk to get fresh air, if it was freezing we would stay home, then she would just hang out with me, if i was in the kitchen doing something, i would lay a blanket down and let her play on it, or she would have a nap. Then when she got up she would have lunch, then if i had to run errands we would go and do that. I dojn't know we did lots of stuff. The main thing is too keep your baby stimulated don't just let then sit in a swing all day, because you are too busy doing something else.

When my baby was 6 months old I played with her a lot. She loved to dance with me. She was flipping over and trying to crawl. She could get her knees up under her but couldnt get going but I would encourage her. I also read to her even though she probably didnt understand the story. She liked looking at the pictures. I would also sing to her and tell her stories without a book. She liked watching my lips move and would always fall right to sleep when I told her the story about how me and her dad met! : ) I worked part-time in the evenings about 4 days a week (I'm a stay at home mom now). I would feed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner, change her and all that other stuff you have to do for a baby. Then I would rock her until she went to sleep then put her down and would go to sleep myself. It was wonderful. Shortly after, she learned to crawl and all hell broke loose! Just kidding about the hell part but seriously she was into everything she could get her hands on! I spent my days chasing her around the house and trying to keep her safe. It gets worse after they learn to walk! She runs around like crazy and laughs when I chase after her (she loves to play tag). She's 19 months old now and has discovered the fun of me hide and mommy seek. : ) There has only been one time when she got me worried but I found her behind a chair giggling. And one time she got under me and her dads bed. When I went in there I found her under there with just her little legs sticking out. I said "What are you doing?" and she started giggling and kicking her feet. It was really cute!

My dr. always recommened baby massage. That's when that baby oil kicks in! It makes you closer to baby, feels great to baby, makes you happy, cause baby is squealing all the time with delight. Give them rattles, foot rattles, hand rattles, stuffed animals that are plush and soft, things that light up, make noise... sit on the floor and encourage baby to crawl... there are tons of things to do with your baby.

PLenty of feedings of course and a few naps! But in between doing that, I'd play peek a boo, let them enjoy time on their play mat, in their exersaucer or walker, and spend plenty of quality time with cuddles and talking to them. :)
