Bob and weave and go with the flow, my friend! Suggested games are merely suggestions for kids who like to play games. All children are entirely different in their interests. My daughter didn't like anything structured or specific at all at that age. She just wanted to be with me, no matter what I was doing. She couldn't even keep an interest in toys. Just wanted to sing and pay with momma and play with my hair, my clothes, my facial features, whatever. She didn't even explore! It was quite exhausting! But not at all a defect. She is just now at 3 getting interested in games because my one year old son loves games-totally opposite of her. Love and contact is the most important thing, don't worry about specific little projects she's supposed to achieve by certain dates in time. Too scholastic and studied. Listen to your gut, you'll know if something is wrong. She sounds fabulous and normal. Don't get into the slippery slope of analyzing attention spans. The differences in children are vast, but most attention spans are short to non existent at 8 months. They just want constant non specific entertainment in the form of attention. Whatever she likes doing, let her do it-except hours in front of the tube, because she's checking out and not learning and exploring while watching. Educational shows don't register that young, it's just visual white noise. Put on music and let her tinker around aimlessly, she's actually learning a lot that way and exercising by crawling etc. She will eventually learn she needs more entertainment, and may grow interested in games later on. Your doing a great job meeting her needs. Keep it up!
