Baby development at 8 months

Just wondered what your little babies were doing at 8 months.
My LB was sitting unsupported at 5 months but hasn't rolled.
There's also other little things that he doesn't blow raspberries or make consonant sounds like Dada.
Don't know if it's me over analysing being stuck in lockdown is probably making me overthink things!

My little man is 8 months next week. He commando crawls and rolls in both directions and blows raspeberries and makes ooo eee arr sounds but doesn't say any words. He is also starting to copy actions we do(lifting arms when we do bringing hands together ect) and can pull into a standing position too but he can't sit unaided yet.
They are all different and do things at the own pace, it's hard to not focus on what they should be doing. I will say all these things suddenly started in the last 10days. Pretty much all in one go x

My daughter is 8mo, she sits unsupported and has done since just before 6mo. She has never rolled over and I don't see her crawling any time soon. She can clap, say da da da, pass things hand to hand.
She was quite a puker in the early days and I probably haven't done enough tummy time with her as a result. So she might be a bit later on the crawling front. My eldest didn't crawl until she was nearly 1 and was never an issue.
