Month 8
Your baby may start to protest if you leave him too long, thanks to the onset of separation anxiety. This is the time when your baby may start to show extreme attachment to you, and a dislike for others.
Your baby may also: Protest when you take a toy or other object away Feed himself a cracker Get into a sitting position from his stomach Pick up a tiny object with his thumb and forefingerUnderstand (but not always obey!) the word "no" Crawl
Babies develop at such different rates in the first year. Just because your baby isn't doing some of the things mentioned here, it doesn't mean he is 'slow', just as a baby that has been doing these things for a while is not necessarily 'advanced'.
With a baby in the house, it's often hard to find time for yourself, or your relationship with your partner. It is important to make time for yourself and each other. A happy home makes for a happier baby too.

Well i think its true. if my 8 mon. old baby cant see me he starts going ballistic.he yells and cries. if someone wants to pick him up he wont go with them he would look for me and want me to get him. i have seen that he sits up by himself.
