Eight months ago was a Tuesday, just like it is now, and I can't believe that we were just holding Jacob in our arms for the first time! Time is going so quickly, yet it seems like Jacob has always been a party of our family. I can still remember life without him though - so lonely! He is my best little bud.
At 8 months, Jacob
~ is a super fast crawler
~ pulls himself up to standing with no problem
~ can usually get himself down from standing without hurting himself ;)
~ waves! We have never taught him this, but his does the arm flap in all the socially correct situations, so . . basically he's a genius.
~ is beginning to master the sippy cup with a straw.
~ doesn't nurse very much anymore - he is so interested in his surroundings that he is just too distracted. Kind of breaking my heart.
~ sleeps through the night, usually 12 to 12.5 hours straight! What a blessing!
~ sometimes loves his baby food; other times, not so much.
~ knows where to touch on our touchy-feely books . . again, genius. Makin' his book lady Mama proud!
~ still looooves bath time. The whole bathroom is soaked by the time he's done splashing it up in there.
~ despises getting his diaper changed, getting dressed, having his nose or face wiped, having his fingernails clipped . .
~ weighs 18.5 lbs
We love our Jakey-man!
