Why do you only experience 8 lunar phases?
Because those are the eight points and shapes, during the constantly changing appearance of the moon, to which we have given names. If you watch the edge of the bright portion of the moon for a while through a small telescope, you'll see that it's moving continuously, and so the actual apparent shape of the moon is changing continuously ... literally minute to minute.

Does the moon change from night to night?
The appearance of the moon changes from night to night because different parts of the moon are illuminated by sunlight, from the perspective of the viewer here on Earth. The moon itself is not changing, it remains the same.
What causes the changing appearance of the moon?
The moon changes in appearance from the perspective of people on Earth because it is revolving around the planet and Earth is revolving around the Sun. When the Moon and Sun are on the same side of Earth, we do not see the moon because the side that is illuminated by the Sun is pointing away from us. This is called the new moon. When the moon is on the opposite side of Earth two weeks later, (Earth is between the Moon and Sun) the illuminated side is pointing toward us and we see the whole side of the Moon lit up. This is our full Moon. Everything else is during the times when the Moon is becoming full or becoming new again. Unfortunately I can't draw a diagram on this site but you can check out any good astronomy book or website to find one.
