Rory's First Birthday, Part 4

On Friday, August 10, Rory awoke from her slumber to find her parents hovering above her crib. It had been one year ago that Rory's parents had last awakened as "married without children". By 11:31 that evening, Rory had joined her parents in the delivery room. At one year old, Rory is walking, clapping, feeding herself, and saying "uh oh" when she drops something (her first word?). On this important morning, Rory donned a pretty dress and hair barrett (finally enough hair to wear one!).
After a morning with her mommy, Rory visited her daddy in his office before taking her parents to a birthday lunch.
Rory chose "Bread & Chocolate" for her birthday lunch, taking a few bites of her daddy's croissant, but otherwise sticking with her peas, cheese, and chicken (her favorite meal).
Rory eyed the glass display case full of colorful desserts.
Rory didn't know what to do with her little cookie at first ...
... but she got the hang of it soon enough!
Later that afternoon, Rory gathered all of her gifts together. Right now, she seems most enamored with the musical stage ...
... and the lion "walker", which she uses it to zoom around the room with abandon.
Rory bowed down to her new panda, which her Pops ordered from the World Wildlife Fund. The WWF is located in the same building as Rory's daycare center, and a WWF staff member hand delivered it herself to Rory.
