Other children creep before they talk . It seems that every child creeps in a different way. Some do it backwards. Some go forwards, even sideways. Some creep on hands and knees, on toes and knees, on one knee and one hand.
Some children rock back and forth without moving an inch.
Learning to walk and talk takes time and effort. During your play time with Baby, spend some time practicing the skills Baby doesn't do on his own. If your baby is a crawler and mover, practice making sounds. If your baby is a talker, practice moving. Imagine that you are 8 months old.
