Opal doesn't sit still for a moment. She is constantly on the go, and has started to climb now too. She can get half way up the slide and if you leave a chair pushed out just enough, she can climb to the top of the table. She loves doing whatever her sisters are doing, and doesn't want to be babied by them. She will push off their helping hands while saying "OFF!"
She was so excited to join her sisters in the sprinkler for the first time and now she even joins them in the shower as well. She loves water, and says "wa-wa!"
Here she is below painting alongside Violet.
She does not like to be restrained in her carseat, in her stroller, or in a carrier - she wants to be on her own two feet.
She enjoyed her first concert, and even left the noise canceling headphones on for most of the concert. She loves to dance to music with a beat, and she loves to say "CHEESE" when we take her picture. In the middle photo to the right below, I caught her with a lollipop that she must have found in one of her sister's things. She knew she was doing something illegal, as she refused to look at me when I kept asking her what she had. You better believe she had an iron grip on that lollipop stick when I tried to remove it from her hand!
Our little lady has also learned the word "owie" and "boo boo" as sadly, it is summer time and she keeps falling on our driveway and scraping her knees. It is hard not to hold my breath when she is running on the concrete. She is getting better, but boo boos and owies are a daily occurrence right now for her.
Opal also knows the sounds animals makes now, and when we went to a traveling petting farm this past month at the Lavender Festival, she was beside herself with excitement, yelling and pointing "moo moo!!!" "oink oink!!!" and "baa baa!!!" She also will say "ruff ruff" when she sees a dog, and loves dogs of any kind. When she sees a cat she just yells, "Charlie!!!" which is hilarious to us, as that is what we are usually saying to our own cat.
Oh Opal, you don't hold still for long, but when you do, I just love to soak up your snuggles!
