Disclaimer: I'm no expert either....but
I wouldn't worry too much about an 8 month old not crawling. Although those "what your baby should be doing by now" features are cool because it's fun to look ahead a few weeks and go "hey, she can already do that!", I think if you read enough of them you're going to find at least something that your baby is a little behind on. If not, well then you must have a super advanced gifted genius child, so throw away that 529 plan. Full ride to Harvard on the way.
I think I'm going to create a "you should be worried if" feature. For example, "you should be worried if by 8 months your baby":
1) doesn't know who mommy is
2) sleeps less than 12 hours a day
3) doesn't inspect every toy by tasting it
4) isn't cute enough to get away with absolutely anything she wants
Something like that. lmk if anyone is interested in receiving my email
.
Anyway, obligatory 8 month old pic:
Also, I noticed this:

Vivienne is our first. Thanks a lot for updating this list. Very cool to see it grow and grow.
