Your baby is three months old! Tummy time rules at 3 months. Be sure to supervise tummy time play. If you don’t have one already, a tummy time mat is an excellent investment as it encourages further physical and mental development. She is most interested now in circular and spiral patterns and is able to see a farther distance. She should be able to hold her head up when on her tummy and follow objects with her eyes and head as well. A baby play mirror is a great thing to have in the third month as well. She’ll get a kick out of seeing herself in the mirror, although she doesn’t know it’s herself yet.
At this time, your baby may be able to roll from her back to her side, and she has officially discovered her hands and her feet. She will be well entertained just by clasping and unclasping her hands. She can now hold a rattle for a while and will swipe at objects with her arms. She can briefly bear weight on her legs as she is held in a standing position. She should be able to hold her head steady when sitting with support.
You may also notice your baby imitating sounds. She may begin to make extended vowel sounds and her cries will be distinguished according to her needs. She may start to laugh this month too, what a hoot!
Your three month old should be sleeping longer at night. Many three to four months old can sleep six hours at a time, while others are still waking for a night feeding.
She will make eye contact with you and will smile at faces, especially her parents. Her awareness of the people around her has improved. She may stop crying when you come into the room.
Have you started reading to your baby yet? You may think it early, but reading to your baby will help her get into a bed time routine. It will also stimulate her brain and give you both some good bonding time. Some good bedtime books for baby include Goodnight Moon and The Baby's Bedtime Book.
It is wise to start establishing a bedtime routine if you have not done so yet. Start with a bath, book, massage, and bottle or nursing. Then put your baby to bed. Keep this routine up every night and it will help your baby get to sleep.
Besides reading to your baby, talking is also a good way to stimulate your infant ’s development. The more words and sights baby takes in during the first year, the faster the brain development. When taking your baby on her walk, talk to her. Tell her about the different objects you pass. You may feel silly doing this at first, but soon it will seem routine.

Doing plenty of tummy time. He should be starting to raise himself up on his arms by now.
Grabbing at things.
Making noises and "talking" to himself. They begin to discover they have a voice.
You can also read to him.. no age is too early.
Every baby is different. I just started my son in the Baby Einstein Discover and Play Exersaucer.. and he loves it! He's going to be 4 months old next week.

Right now your babies favorite toy will be you! Sing, tell rhymes and making faces should be very amusing for your baby. You will be able to gage by their reaction. My son smiles when I do all of those and also when I pretend to eat him and make nom nom nom noises, he giggles. But otherwise you sound like you are doing everything fun for him.
