Re: if your lo is 7-8 months...
My child began driving over the weekend.... and he can now deep fry a turkey.
LOL. Kidding of course. It's so true--every child is so different. DS1 was so behind--didn't even CRAWL until he was 12 months old.
DS2 isn't up on all fours to crawl--but kind of trying to 'army crawl' a little if there's something he REALLY wants. He likes to practice standing against stuff---but I have to keep an arm very close to him because obviously he can't stand yet.
He just started saying what sounds like daddy or dada to me last night. Kind of exciting. I swore I heard mama too--but not sure. He's on and off babbling.
He loves puffs. But that's really all we've given him. He does purees 3x a day. Lunch at daycare is his biggest meal it seems.

Notes:
LO is almost 8 months.. she is "crawling" but it's more of inchworming...
she is pulling up and can support herself if I put her at something to hold on to at a standing position.
she just started getting good at feeding hersefl "snacks" puffs and those cheese curl looking things.
She waves and claps. Says Dada and Hi but I don't think she really knows what she is saying. Although if I ask her where Dada is, she looks at my DH.
we eat two "solid" meals a day and snack time. Takes about 6 oz at a time in her bottle.
my DS is crawling the army style, pulling himself up in the crib and anywhere else, lots of screaming and growling, fake coughing and just loud in general! rolls from his tummy to sitting up, he's eating solids - nothing more than purees though - gags on everything else! haven't tried puffs but cheerios soaked in water make him gag so...he has his two bottom teeth as well
sleeping from about 7pm-4/5am then feeding a bottle of formula and then down again until 630/7 and up for the day.
eats 3 solids a day and around 6 or 7 bottles
We are crawling, starting to pull ourselves up on things, BLW 2x a day, 4 teeth, no talking, claping or waving but lots of babbling, we are not STTN.
LO is not crawling but prefers instead to roll around when she wants to go somewhere. She is not pulling to stand, but she is self-feeding crackers and puffs and has just started figuring out how to use a sippy. She is babbling as of this week (bababa and mamama mostly). I also noticed today that she has definitely developed object permanence because she dropped a toy and looked for it. No words yet, BUT I think she is just starting to associate me with "mama" -- definitely still emerging, though.
She's always been on the tail end of meeting gross motor milestones but makes them eventually. Fine motor, verbal, and cognitive, she is on track or ahead, from what I can tell.
DD is inch worm crawling, but doesn't get the idea of being up on all fours yet. She babbles and says "mamamama", "babababa", etc. but no words.
She LOVES the mum mum crackers and feeding herself. She eats 3 meals a day as per her pediatrician's recommendation.
My DD is a little older than yours but she is eating 3 solid meals a day plus 4 - 6oz bottles a day (sometimes she doesn't finish the bottles though). She has been army crawling for almost 2 months but just this week has started crawling on all fours!! She started pulling up a few weeks ago and is "cruising" a little now. She is saying "baba," "byebye," and "dada" on a regular basis but has said "mama" a few times. She can also wave. No teeth yet but she does love puffs and is finally getting really good at feeding them to herself!
DD started to crawl about 2 weeks before 7 months, but only in the last week or so has really started to move like a champ. She can sit up and pull herself up on things and loves to walk holding my hands (only lasts for like 6 or 7 baby steps though). She has no teeth. She loves to blow raspberries, so much so I was concerned at first. Then she started to babble. She says mama and baba a lot.
She eats breakfast and dinner and has also been feeding herself puffs and mum mums since about 6ish months. This week she started to feed herself bits of "real" food at dinner and have yogurt melts.
She was sleeping through the night before 1 month. Then we had the 4 month regression. Then we did Ferber. Then she got sick and sick again. We started Ferber last night all over again. She has been sleeping through the night from 5.5 to 6 months again, but the past 2 nights she is up every 2 hours to sit up. She puts herself back to sleep... sometimes
