    unsolicited advice from a happy father

    Ditch the baby songs and baby music, do mix tapes of 50s Frank Sinatra and whatever music YOU like that is both jolly and soothing. Don't dumb-down your converation, be as quick, witty and irreverent talking to your child as you would be in conversation with adults, s/he will be stimulated by it and will seek to emulate you.
