Expanded O'Brien Family: Pixie turns 6 Months!

As Joel would say Pixie finally has an age…She is zero and a half! Yep that is right the big .5. She is crazy growing (I know I say that in every post…it is amazing how fast they grow!) She is super interactive now and will do anything to stay up and not go to bed. Too bad she has mean parents that protect her sleep and still make her go to bed…otherwise she would be up until midnight….just like her dad!

Playtime: She loves books…no surprise there but she is loving more and more when you read to her. She will sit in my lap and let me turn the pages. We get a couple of pages through and then she wants to chew on it. She scratches at every picture. She loves to have dance parties and LOVES attention from Gabby and Sadie. She tries so hard to put Gabby’s (our cat) tail in her mouth and she want Sadie’s (our dog) snout or ears in her mouth.

Sweet Moment: Auntie Destiny was having a very rough day. I was holding Pixie and talking to Destiny and Des started to cry…Pixie totally started to cry, reached for Des and kissed her…..She is the sweetest, most loving little girl. We have a “feeler” on our hands. Lord have mercy!

New things: We kiss! Yep the good old fashion open mouth, I have been slimed, baby kiss! It is awesome. Sometimes you might get a lick in that kiss or she will suck on your chin…It is so awesome. She rolls now and even Brendan counts it as rolling. It is really funny because she can only roll one way so she will roll then pivot her body to roll back to where she came from. She can sit up almost on her own…not all the way yet but comes pretty close. We giggle! It is not abundant yet...kind of takes alot to get her to giggle...but it is stinking cute!

Strangers: We are getting better! We still really only want daddy, mama or Destiny but we are a little more willing to be in someone’s arms (about 30 seconds)….I will take what I can get!

Questions I get asked: She is not crawling, have teeth or sleeping through the night yet. I think I might hold her too much! But that is just fine with me…she will be crawling soon enough. For the amount of drool this child is producing you would think all of her teeth will come in at once…she drools through her bibs on to her shirts…we are at a 3 outfit minimum for each day due to the amount of drool. It also does not help that she chews on her bibs! She wakes up generally at 10p and then at 2:30a. We are then ready for our day at 5a. Yes you are reading that correctly 5AM! She is so dang cute in the morning that it makes it worth it.

Here they are 6 month pictures! 17 pounds and 26 inches long!
