In Wyoming summer is short and most certainly sweet! Enjoy the warm weather with your baby outdoors as much as possible and help the baby connect to nature. Spread a blanket outside under a shady spot for the baby on. Point out butterflies, insects, birds, grass, sky and the clouds. If your baby is able to crawl, lie on one side of the blanket and encourage him/her to crawl to you. You can even make it a bit more fun by taking a mirror outside with you and as the baby is lying on his/her back, hold the mirror above him so he can see the grass and the blanket beneath him.
