To put it lightly, this was a messy month for the Rabold family. But we won't bore you with the details of the two bouts of sickness that knocked out the entire family. Nor will we dwell on stories of Brody impaling himself on a five-foot metal post in the backyard. And we certainly won't mention how Heatpocalypse 2009 melted our brains and forced us to sleep in our unfinished basement. Let's just focus on the resilient Little Miss Ava Cakes.
Despite the obstacles, Ava spent this month trying to climb on things (mostly us), getting into and out of a sitting position, and "talking" (a term we use very, very loosely). Thankfully, Ava all but gave up on crawling and fell in love with sitting. As a result, we spent this month marinating in the rediscovered joy of putting our child down and feeling fairly confident that she would be there when we returned. We will enjoy it while it lasts.
Back in full health, Ava is ready to conquer the world.
you have some truly fantastic pics in there. nicely done rabold family!
