Jacob hit 8 months on Saturday after a busy week of development and new adventures. In the last few weeks he has begun to crawl, pull up on things, balance standing on his on own (for a few seconds), crawl faster, sleep longer during the night, sleep less during the day, receive his first black-eye (first rule of Baby Fight Club: don't talk about Baby Fight Club), crawl faster still, and disliked his first food.
Him moving around is a lot of fun, but a lot more work. Each day he seems to expand his borders. He has almost made it through the entire house.
Regarding the black-eye - I was taking a picture of him one evening and he began to crawl towards me. As I took another picture, he grabbed for the wrist band and jerked the camera out of my hands. The camera promptly whacked him under his eye. He was unhappy about this and cried and wanted nothing to do with me until later when he saw I had his bedtime bottle.
As for the food he didn't like - Jacob had his first meat dish on Saturday. I believe it was chicken and gravy. As you will see from the pictures, it tasted as bad as it smelled (and it smells like dog food).

Hi America!
Looks closely at his 'ralls. I went in awhile after he woke up from a nap and saw that he had taken all (5 total) his pacifiers and shoved them in there.
Mentally preparing for bedtime.
This was the picture taken just as Jacob pulled the camera from my hands. As mentioned earlier, this led to...
Yep, look at that shiner. I'll save this one for the trail.
Hiding from daddy. Actually Jacob has begun conducting his own games of peek-a-boo. It's pretty cute.
I could easily make another joke about the eye, but I won't.
YUMMY Jacob loves chicken!
Such sadness and yet, we take pictures. I am sure when he is in high school he will appreciate it.
