Parenting Tips for Your 8 Month Old Baby
Some children prefer talking to walking. Any time they are awake, they are making noises. Some of the noises are squeals and self-invented words.
Other children creep before they talk. It seems that every child creeps in a different way. Some do it backward. Some go forward, even sideways. Some creep on hands and knees, on toes and knees, on one knee and one hand. Some children rock back and forth without moving an inch.
Learning to walk and talk takes time and effort. During playtime with your baby, spend some time practicing the skills he doesn't do on his own. If your baby is a crawler and moves around a lot, practice making sounds. If your baby is a talker, practice moving.
