Starting off the new year clean

 Taylor love... love... LOVES bath time.  I think she is programmed as a woman already and is ready to soak in a hot tub any time of the day!  I had to laugh as I looked back through the sequence of photos I took because I caught just about every facial expression she has! :)  
"Happy"

 "Unsure"

 "Surprised"

 "Nervous"

 "Disgusted"

"Angry"

New Years Eve


 Little beauty soaking in the warm sun.  One of her favorite things to do!

 Posing with the bear that Hannah made for her when she was born.

 We had a wonderful celebration this year, that ended promptly at 8:30pm.  Gotta love it when your kiddos still can't tell time.  No trickery required.  Just the fact that it was very dark out was proof enough that it was SO late! :)
 The girls really enjoyed drinking sparkling cider.  They drink water 80% of the time so it was a nice treat! :)
 Our 3 beauties.  Hannah got everyone dressed and set the table for their special dinner.

Ended the night with a bang and party poppers! (That Aspen ran and hid from!)  Happy New Year!  2012, we are ready for you!

Glide Bikes


 Hannah's glide bike was such a success, we decided that there was no other way to go with the twins.  So for Christmas they received matching bikes a size down from their big sisters!

 Even though it is only 2 days after Christmas, we have had some pretty mild weather.  We decided to hit the greenbelt and test them out!


Hannah had no problem jumping back on after her major fall at the end of our warm weather, and was very excited to show her sisters just how it is done!  Aspen and Brooke dove right in without hesitation.  It brought joy to us as parents to see the girls truly enjoying themselves!  I know that it will be no time before we are forced to run in order to keep up with all of them! :)

Here is a little video that shows them in action!

2 months old already!

 These first two months have flown by.  It feels like Taylor is only 2 days old!  I'm sure we just brought her home from the hospital!  
Taylor received her 2nd set of immunizations today, and she did so well!  She is growing so quickly although it looks like she has picked up the "Coots" height genes!!  Taylor's current measurements are... 
Weight:10lbs 5oz (30th %) Head: 15in (10th%) and Length 22 3/4in (1.87%).  Yes you read that correctly!  Taylor is only taller than 1.87% of other infants her age!  Hannah, Aspen, and Brooke have all been 95% or greater for their height!  Now we have a peanut and one that I think might have trouble matching my 
5ft 6 inches!  :)  Short or Tall we obviously love her a lot!  I imagine she is going to be short like Grandma Pat and Auntie Sue!!!  Below are some random pics we took today, including some of her silly expressions.  Taylor is full of smiles and has no trouble keeping up with her sisters verbally.  She is exploring all the ranges of her voice and they are all so sweet!  Taylor is an INCREDIBLE sleeper, consistently giving me a straight 6-8hrs of sleep every night!  Our dog Sadie wakes John up more than Taylor wakes me!  I LOVE a baby that sleeps!  It is SO wonderful!  Thank you Taylor!  We love you sweet girl!
