Greetings
Your baby is meeting many excellent physical and vocal milestones like babbling, laughing, and pulling to stand.
Inconsistent response to their name and mild disinterest in games like peekaboo can be completely normal at 8 months.
These specific social interaction skills are still developing and typically become much more consistent by 9 to 12 months.
A lack of response can often simply mean they are deeply focused on exploring or learning new motor skills.
