feeding frenzy

sorry this one is so long, but i just could not find any footage to cut out.

Laying Out

Today was a beautiful Hawaiian winter day. We went down to the Lakes and enjoyed the much needed relaxation. Da-da paddled out for the first time after his surgery and Mama taught Opi to jump into the pool.

Shampoo Mohawk

Giving Opi a shampoo mohawk is not that easy. Not much hair to work with!

Mermaid close-up

Bootsie loves to pose for the camera.

Making Opi into a mermaid

Opi loves to be buried and Da-da thought she would make a cute, fat baby mermaid!

belly flop

Playing in the tidepools

Today was a beautiful day and we have been hanging out at the tidepools at lowtide.
They are the perfect depth for Opal
She runs and dives in to them.

More Tidepools

And she ends the day with another goofy goggle pic.

Opal's Desk

This little table is also a favorite of Opal's. She likes to get a book and climb up to read.
Sometimes Opal and Da-da do their work together.

Tunnel Time

Aunt Sue gave Opal this tunnel and she absolutely loves it. She was a little hesitant at first but practically lives in it now!

Block Party

Opi loves to stack blocks now.
She is getting so big now.
I remember when she used to just eat the blocks.
