9 Months Old

 Determined in the one word your daddy and I would use to describe you at 9 months old. Not much slows you down. We don't often see you frustrated, rather you are persistent in achieving your goals. You understand the word no, but it doesn't seem to stop you anymore. You want to discover the world yourself. We watch and support you. We protect you from whatever harm you seem to find (usually in the form of an electrical cord). We hope you keep this determination as you grow into a young man and adult. Use your determination to make your own spot in the world, achieve your goals, and fulfill your dreams. The world is yours to conquer my little man.
