I know I suppose to update Daniel's seven and eight months old milestones last month. So this is consider a back dated post. Well, he is now eight months and 20 days old. Let's see how's he progress.

5. His crawling skill improves visibly.

6. He loves to play with papers instead of his toys.

7. He loves to bangs his toys against the floor.
