Opal's Seventh Month

Opal grew so much this past month!  While I don't as of yet have her "official" seventh month photo, I did get her sixth month picture taken before she turned seven months!  As you can see below she is now able to sit up on her own!

 She has so much fun with her sisters, and her sisters have so much fun with her.  They still fight over her, which I thought would have worn off by now, but I guess at the end of the day, I am just glad they love being with her so much.  One of the best perks of being a big sister I've noticed, is getting to pick out what Opal wears for the day.  I do miss having this privilege myself, but I happily step aside so that they can have pride in their sister too.  Of course they find a way to fight over this, and if they are the first one up for the day, they usually win at dressing their baby sister.  In the bottom, right hand picture below, Lucy decided to have her and Opal match that day, and imagine my joy when I saw that Lucy dressed Opal in a dress that used to be Lucy's!  If I had a glimpse of what the future would hold over nine years ago, I may not have believed it!

 Opal loves her daddy, and loves relaxing with him too.  In the bottom, right hand picture below, the girls and I found a pet couch at a local store and had to do a photo op with Opal on it to send to Will.  What a riot, and the looks on Opal's face as she just relaxed were hilarious.

 Opal loves her mama too, and I am happy to say that I am still her favorite.

 This past month Opal started eating solid foods!  She didn't care for them at first but now will sometimes tolerate them.  She's eaten squash, sweet potatoes, rice cereal, prunes and applesauce.

Opal gives the best hugs now too, and I just love this stage that she is in.  I predict next month will bring even more changes and so I hope to savor every moment of this sweet little girl!
