Jacob 8 Month Update

Jacob hit 8 months on July 20.  We are now 2 days away from him being 10 months, and I am just now doing his 8 month update (not to mention his 9 month update, or Rebekah's birthday updates).  Does anyone even read these?  Doesn't matter.  :)  This is my way of doing a baby book since I'm not very good at writing in those.

Since it has been awhile, it is of course hard for me to remember specifics.  I just went back and looked at my little journal I try to keep of major milestones, and here is what I found:

7/9

• Adam found Jacob standing in the crib

 7/12

• Started cruising

 7/13

• 1st tooth! Felt it but can't see it yet...middle bottom his left

Those are some big milestones! And yet I feel like he has been cruising and standing forever.  I guess it has only been a couple of months!



Overall, this month, I feel like he was finally able to begin experiencing some of the fun things that he has only seen from the Beco, the car seat, or the stroller...

...like the shopping cart...

 

...and the Perot museum...

 

...and the Galleria play area...

...and Arturo's Nest at the Dallas Museum of Art...

And we had a few other firsts:

First night with the crib lowered down

(after we came in the room to this!)

 And first Rangers game!

This little boy is such a busy, moving guy - always exploring everything!  We are having lots and lots of fun with him!  You can check out the rest of the photos here:
