Opal loves her mama! In the below pictures: Violet and I, each with our babies strapped on us, and the other photo shows the first time Opal searched me out and pulled herself to a stand at my legs. I'm almost done with the dishes, baby!
Opal loves her sisters! In the below photos in clockwise order from top left: Lucy can get Opal to sleep on her, which is more than I can say for myself with Opal most days, Lucy cuddling Opal, Opal with a chocolate kiss mark on her cheek from Emma, and finally, Violet getting a kick out of using one of Opal's pacifiers together with her sister!
Opal loves being outside! She also loves Charlie, but I'm not sure he returns the affection. Fortunately we've had a mild winter for Opal's tenth month, and she was able to be outside almost every day.
Opal loves paper! She loves to eat paper, rip paper, and crumple paper. She also loves books, but at this point I think it is just because it's a nice stack of paper.
Opal loves Daddy! And Opal loves playing with Daddy! In fact, although it pains me to say this, she may prefer Daddy over me right now. If Will is around, she only wants him. The good news is, although I've always relished being my babies' number one, it fills my heart with pride to see the father of my children be so loved too.
And finally I can say that Opal loves food! This past month she finally started eating food with a passion. We determined that she does not like baby food purees, and doesn't like slimy things like bananas and avocados. She gags on them every time. But, this past month her pincer grasp has developed quite nicely, and now that she is able to pick up soft finger foods, she LOVES eating skinned and cut up grapes, cut up blueberries and ripe pears, tiny pieces of cucumber, steamed carrots and green beans, organic "Cheerio" type cereal, and little pieces of cooked pasta, oatmeal (that she can pick up) and sticky rice (also that she can pick up). Offer it on a spoon to her and she won't eat it!
Opal, we love you and are so happy to be a part of your list of loves!
