have yall gone to babycenter?
?this is what it said for week 2 of 8 months old...
?https://www.babycenter.com/0_your-8-month-olds-development-week-2_1477281.bc
my ds is ONLY banging toys- he's been doing that for a while. he presses everything but is no where close to pointing to body parts, brushing his hair, or putting a phone to his ear. do these 8 month old skills listed seem advanced?
?(i know crawling is not a milestone, but he has no upper body strength and no interest in crawling! he tries to pull up, but can't do it all the way)
PLEASE please, tell me what your 8 -9 month old is doing!?
Re: my 8mo old is not doing things that babycenter says
Mine is crawling and pulling up on stuff, but if he attempted to put a phone to his ear and brush his own hair I would call ripley's believe it or not to proclaim I had a genuis baby!
I never thought to show him how a phone works, but I do show him.. mama brush hair.. baby brush hair and I go back and forth between us. he still only wants to eat the brush.
I won't not worry too much and besides next month is the 9 month well visits you can ask the pedi to see what they think baby should be doing.

"Over the next few months, she'll start to use objects for their intended purposes ? brushing her hair, drinking from a cup, and babbling on her play phone."
That is what Babycenter says. It does not expect that an 8-month-old would be able to do these things yet. My 8-month-old does the same stuff that yours does. She can crawl but not very well. Just relax.

Emerson tries sitting up from her side and almost has it but not quite yet. She's not crawling or pulling up but, she's a big baby (95th percentile for weight and 99th for length). She certainly doesn't try to brush her hair or hold the phone yet.
