Have fun with your 8-month old…

Get reading!
FYI:
It’s never too soon to start reading to your baby – it will stimulate his brain development starting in infancy and continuing all the way through his childhood. And it’s fun for both of you. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends reading aloud daily to your child starting at six months. When he’s very young, pictures with bright colours and sharp contrast will grab his attention and soon enough, the words will start to sink in. So pick up a storybook, magazine or even a novel; at this point, it’s the fact that you’re reading rather than what you read that’s most important. You’ll be a model for your baby to imitate throughout his life.
Big fun for little people
Going crazy being cooped up inside? Then go for a walk. Put your baby in an infant backpack and be sure to point out trees and birds – or buses and lorries – along the way. If weather won’t permit, sit down on the floor facing your baby and roll a ball back and forth with him. Make sure the ball is soft in case he decides he wants to throw it instead. When you tire of playing with the ball, try rolling a toy car, kitchen towel roll or empty poster tube.
