Talk to me about your 8m old!

What's he/she up to these days?  I get so worried thinking DS is behind... He has such little motivation to do anything!  

He is great at entertaining himself with toys while sitting on the floor and lovessss his jumperoo. He will do raspberries all day long!   But... He has zero desire to be on his belly still... Makes almost no effort to crawl.. Doesn't say anything.. Not mama, dada, baba.. Nothing.  He refuses to feed himself... If put something halfway in his mouth, he knows to push it in.. But, he won't pick something up and put it to his own mouth.. He picks things up and throws them on the floor, but if we try and get him to put it to his mouth he instantly drops it..  He still doesn't roll often.. I've maybe seen him roll back to belly twice ever... And that was with prompting... But he will roll belly to back almost immediately after putting him on his belly, but that's jus because he hates being on his belly.. He doesn't pull-up on things... He will stand if I'm holding him, or stand leaning on my couch or coffee table, but doesn't pull up on his own.. 

Just wanna see what your babies are all doing! The more development books I read, the more I freak out!! 9 month appointment is in a few weeks, will definitely be following up with the ped, too!

At 8 months DD didn't crawl. She did that closer to 10 months and I had to bribe her with cheerios. Eating she was great with, she was mostly on table/finger foods by that point (still getting bottles of course). Talking she's always been pretty advanc

My kid didn't crawl until a week shy of 10m. He wore me out today running around outside during Easter Egg Hunts as an 18m old. You'd never know he took so long to crawl. He's still not talking, barely saying mama anymore. I'm going to mention it at

Thanks guys!! I feel much better now   I have a few friends with babies DS's age or younger that are all doing way more than him, and it just freaked me out!  I know my family keeps saying he's fine, but I was just starting to worry that maybe
