Almost 9 Months Old

Can you believe it our little guy is really almost 9 months old. I took him to the doctor yesterday to make sure his ear infection had healed up and he weights in at almost 24 lbs. The nurse said, "Just look at that healthy boy and those feet, he has big ones." She said he is big for his age. His ears have cleared up but there is still some fluid in there. He is getting another tooth and the doctor chalked it up to that. He is handling it really well but drooling a lot and he tries to bite you if you get to close. He tried to bite our pediatrician last time he was there and this time he tried to pee on her. That's our boy.
He is so mobile these days its hard to stop him from getting into everything. He loves the shoe pile by the door and he really likes my big hiking boots. We have started putting them all in the storage room cause it grosses me out. I know that dirt is good for him but I just can't let him chew on our shoes.
I have also given him a cabinet. Every boy should have his own cabinet in his mothers kitchen, right. He loves it. We put some board books in it an all of his plastic bowls and cups. He loves to climb in to it and pull all the stuff out. Its perfect for when I'm making something and need to keep an eye on him at the same time. He's entertained by this for at least 15 minutes and that's a really long time for a baby.
So Brody starts his new job on Monday and he is both nervous and happy about it. I think he's going to do great.
I've been back in the working world for 3 weeks now and things are going well at the farm but I miss being at home with Liam. I wish I could just be a stay at home mom, I really love it. I start teaching farm ed classes at one of the local elementary schools this coming week and its going to be fun. They have a great school garden that was put in by my predecessor so it will be fun to plant it with the kids. Speaking of....I have work to do now that the baby is asleep. Hope you all are well.
