Probably the biggest change this past month happened two days before Opal turned 5 months old - she got her first tooth! I was not expecting this so early, and when her tooth popped out, all of her recent crankiness made so much sense! She has been going to town on her teething toys, like a puppy on a chew toy!
One day this past month it seemed like Opal woke up and was a completely different baby - more mature, more grown up. That same day she discovered her feet and now plays with them whenever she is on her back. She also has perfected rolling - front to back and back to front but still sometimes gets an arm stuck under her belly when rolling to her stomach.
She still loves her sisters, and being with them whenever possible. She gets the most proud look on her face if we find ways to include her in sister shenanigans. She was finally old enough this past month to use the jumper activity center passed down from her sisters, and you better believe all of the sisters were there ready to cheer her on.
Opal enjoyed her second vacation of her life this past month too...
...with lots of sitting in the shade with momma at beaches, hikes strapped to momma...
...and some great naps snuggled on her daddy.
Opal has gained the nickname Hunca Munca, which the girls took from a Beatrix Potter character, but seems quite fitting for our little Hunca Munca.
Opal, you are a real life doll baby, and we love you!
