Our little lady is 8 months old already! She has four teeth total and still does not prefer to eat anything besides milk and apples.
She loves her mama, daddy and her sisters in that order and will push your face away if she is needing space.
Her first word was officially mama, and she can also say "Hi" while waving. When she sees me she will start whine/crying "mamma maammmaaa" and when she sees Will, she bounces up and down and waves. I am her comfort, and Will is her fun.
Her sisters are great entertainment and still fight over who gets to help me with her.
Opal will be one tough little lady, as inevitably bumps and bruises and head bops happen when the sisters play with her. They feel terrible when Opal gets hurt on their watch, but I do know that their love for her is fierce. I overheard Violet tell Opal, "I love your kisses! I'm never washing this slobber off of my face!"
Opal loves playing outside, but hates her pink snowsuit. I'm not sure what the alternative is for her, but I am hoping that she can resign herself to wearing it or it is going to be a long winter for all of us.
Opal officially outgrew her little bassinet called a Rock and Play this past month by falling head first out of it. Fortunately, she landed on a pile of dirty laundry that one of her family members had left on the floor. It scared us more than it scared or hurt her, but now we have no place to put her where she will stay besides her jumper and her crib upstairs.
Opal plays well on her own for the most part, and loves to play with items that aren't toys - she is obsessed with books not meant for chewing babies, pencils, remote controls and cell phones, as well as paper and tags.
Opal, you are the source of most of our smiles, laughs and giggles and we love you so much!
