Speech and Language Development: Your baby will imitate the way you talk to him or her. Baby may be able to utter vaguely "baba", "mama", although this time your baby still does not know the meaning of these words, but you should respond to him or her. When you respond, your baby will think what he or she said has important meaning and this can encourage him or her to speak more. .
Movement or motor skill: Eight months old baby will start to crawl. At the beginning, your baby may crawl backwards, or crawl without actually moving, and some babies will crawl forward slowly. Baby at this stage is able to sit steadily. With hands holding onto your furniture, your baby may be able to stand up from sitting position slowly, but he is unable to stand firmly. Eight-month-old baby can be very precise in pinching things with his thumb, index and middle fingers.
Visual development: Your baby starts to form imagination or have thought about things he see. When he sees the milk bottle, he may know that it is time for feeding. When he sees mom and dad carrying his bowl, he know it is time to have meal. Baby will start to remember things he likes to see or something of interest, If he cannot see the object he is interested, your baby will turn his eyeball around to look for it.
