Ayman's 8 month milestone

Yes... the following are some skills that my 8 month old son has mastered. Again he has all the three skills combination- mastered skills/emerging skills/advanced skills.

Hmm I wonder whether he'll walk before 1 year old?


Mastered Skills (most kids can do)

• Says "mama" and "dada" to both parents (isn't specific) - we didn't teach dada .. only mama.
• Passes objects from hand to hand - yep he did this

Emerging Skills (half of kids can do)
• Stands while holding onto something - he did this when he was 7 month old .. and now he is more stable .. sometimes he let go of his hand .. lepas tu jatuh le.
• Crawls - mastered since he was 5 months
• Points at objects - mmmm i don't see him point .. i see him crawling and grabbing the things that he is interested in .. especially the aircond remote control.. sanggup menjerit le kalau kita sorok bawah meja.
• Searches for hidden objects - yep he did it today.

Advanced Skills (a few kids can do)
• Pulls self to standing, cruises - yep did he did stand .. memula he kneels .. then cari support .. wall ke meja ke .. mak dia ke .. lepaih tu dia mula bongkok kan badan .. pastu berdiri .. lepaih tu mula la nak capai hujung meja nak pi sana pula .. but i normally support him as he would fall if he let go of his hands or if his knees buckle up!
• Picks things up with thumb-finger pincer grasp - yep .. did that
• Indicates wants with gestures - of course!!!
