Month 8

Month 8

“I’m 8 months old, and love to play”

Oh hi there! Mirrors are my new favorite toy

I know if you are smiling at me and it makess me joyful

Hide and seek games are starting - I can find partially hidden objects

I'm still exploring the world with my hands and mouth

Still learning to get objects that are out of my reach

Act early by talking to your child’s doctor if your child

Does not laugh or make squealing sounds

Does not actively reach for objects

Does not try to attract attention through actions

Doesn't follow objects with both eyes at near (1 foot/30cm)and far (6 feet/180 cm) ranges

Does not bear some weight on legs

Does not babble

Shows no interest in games of peekaboo
