How to keep a 8-month baby busy when awake?

At the age of eight months the time, a baby’s waketime amount exceeds the that of daytime sleep. Therefore, a baby needs more attention and constant communication with his mother. To make the baby develop smoothly and mental disorders, mom needs to spend with him as much time as possible, playing and talking with him. Neither you nor the child will be bored, if you variegate these hours of communication. Go for outdoor strolls twice a day. At home, help the kid with his play gyms, give him massage, play, sing and dance with him, holding the baby by his hands or in your arms. Leaf through books together, tell and read him children's poems and short tales.
Children at this age also like to crawl and explore the room. The parents should watch their kids of this age to ensure their safety.
Be tender with your child and he will feel fine.
