6 Months Already!?!?!?!?

It's ok...  I had to pick my jaw up off of the floor too!  Where have the last 6months gone??  I just can't believe that Taylor is already 6months old!  Incredible how fast the time goes.  Especially when you want it to slow down!  Since Taylor is our last, I am specifically keen of the idea of her taking as long as she needs to grow!  It seems with Hannah we looked forward to her reaching every milestone as quickly as possible, Aspen and Brooke's first year just flew by simply because there was two!  Now that Taylor is here, I personally, am ready for her to take her time! :)
Today we went for her 6month exam.  Taylor is currently 15lbs 8oz (44%) 25 1/2in (33%-Thank you Coots genes!) and her head is 16 1/2 cm (42%)  Today is the first signs of "stranger danger" that Taylor has shown.  When Dr.Aguilar started to check her out, she stuck out her bottom lip as far as it could go and her eyes began to well up with tears...  not typical Taylor behavior :)  In the picture above you can see her feelings were still hurt after receiving 4 immunizations today!  But it didn't take long to turn that frown upside down into a giant Taylor smile! 

 Taylor has brought so much joy to our lives.  It's impossible to imagine our day to day without her.  She is still a Mamma's girl around the clock except.....  when John walks through the door every day.  If he does not pick her up first thing her little heart breaks and she begins to sob a very specific cry.  It is in that moment that she is definitely a Daddy's girl.  As a matter of fact, they all are!  As Hannah calls it, when John comes home he becomes "Girl Trapped!"  Haha!   
Taylor still has no teeth and very very little hair!  She has a personality that can attract anyone!  Lots of smiles, lots of laughs, and tons of patience!  Taylor coos and goos... and likes to spit slobber as much as she can.  This girl lives in her bibs!  She is rolling around and spins to different positions as she desires.  She loves Hannah, Aspen, and Brooke....  they entertain her around the clock!  Taylor is still only nursing, but we plan to introduce some foods here soon since she literally grabs the spoon out of your mouth and places it into hers!  Grabs everything in site and everything goes straight to her mouth for investigation!  Taylor is right on track and ahead in some areas!    So much fun she is!  Such a blessing to have her in our lives!
Today Hannah is in school, but she assured me when she got home she would take care of Aspen and Brooke if Taylor was fussy from her shots.  Hannah is such a little Mommy!  The twins didn't mind Taylor's shots either since they were rewarded for their good behavior!  As we left they kept yelling... "Tank you Docker!" (Thank you Doctor!)  It was very sweet!
