For your birthday this year you and your sister had a joint party. Most of our family lives outside the Houston area so we thought it would be easier for everyone traveling to combine your parties. It happened to be the day after your actual birthday and we had it at a gymnastics place where Caroline takes classes every week. You had a great time! You loved running around on the soft mats and bouncing on the trampolines with Mommy.
Up to this point, for Caroline, we have always had family parties at our house, but since our house is on the market to be sold we decided to outsource the party haha. We ended up having a few people over to the house after the party to watch you girls open your fits (since we din't have any showings scheduled) but then everyone headed out. It was nice to have someone else deal with the set up and clean up but I wish we could have visited with everyone from out of town a little more. Maybe once we are at the new house we will have a little more room to entertain adults and have cousins play.
You obviously didn't notice most of the details but you had a vanilla unicorn cupcake that you just played with the icing. I don't thin you cared much for the sweetness of your treat but that's okay. You got a couple of presents that light up and play music and I never want to forget how, for the first time, you said "ooo" when you saw them. It was the cutest thing to see you react to those new toys.
You are such a different baby than Caroline was but the differences make it that much more fun!
You are confident, determined, persistent, and won't settle for no. You are beautiful, funny, independent and reserved until you have an opinion.
We still have so much to learn about you but I know whatever you face, you will conquer. I pray you will love as fiercely as you live, and that you and your sister stay the best of friends.
You are everything we never knew we needed and such a blessing to have and know. We love you Rory Jane! Happy 1st Birthday!
