Rory Update #23 Road Trip Summer '05

We flew to Washington DC and stayed with Uncle Andy, Aunt Kara and Cousin Beacon.

CRAWL
Rory, in an attempt to be an over-achiever, started to crawl. Its a crawl-scrabble-crawl-sit combination, but she has been picking up speed.

We now realize we are hooped. Her range has grown, and we can't do a plop and drop, and expect her to stay.

DOG
Rory, sitting in her port-a-ledge-esque chair which affixes to the side of tables, learned how to cause Beacon to scramble beneath her. Drop bits of her dinner. Watch dog. Squeal. Repeat.

PRIVILEGE
Want to get seated at the most zoomy restaurant in DC? Bring Rory. The wait for the riff-raff was over an hour - but with our cute little pumpkin, the hostess whisked us to the first available table! Nice Rory. We'll keep you.

BLOOD
Rory, tucked in the back seat of the car. We stop for a pee break. Rory is quite covered in blood all over her face. Time to remember the safety class! But after some frantic washing and closer inspection, the source of blood was a tiny scratch on her nose -- prolificly bleeding, and she'd been able to smear her face and hands quite well.

So, that's just the first week. Pictures will be posted soon.
