HI L.. You have some great suggestions. Don't forget the most simple ones of all...pat a cake, and this little piggie! Those are my 11 month olds favorite things. He also loves to be tickled or when I make faces or play peek a boo. Crawling on the floor with him and saying "I'm gonna get you" is a good one too. As long as it's with mom I don't think he really cares. Have fun. :)

My son will be 13 months in 1 week. I play with him constantly! What I do is keep his many many toys in the spare room, and every night we take out some and play together. This way he is not as bored with his stuff since he doesn't see the same things evey day.
We play with his cars, and make driving noises. We play with his mega blocks and wagon and practice putting them in, taking them out.. put together and pull apart.
aside from playing toys, we watch dvd with nursery rhymes. And he is my shadow. Whatever I do - he does.
He helps get the laundry out of the dryer. He helps take the mail out of the box. He holds groceries while we are shopping.
I take him to the park, I take him out for walks. I love letting him run around in the grass and he loves throwing the ball.
Everything can be interactive. Just make the most out of your everyday life.

Just playing peek a boo or reading a book to a 13 month is fun Mommy and me time....I also suggest blocks the big mega blocks helps with stacking and learning also fun to play with your child.
