Giggles
Brooke has learned the art of giggles. Around 2 and 1/2 months she started letting out small laughs but this week we learned how to make her giggle. Tickling works something, other times giving her kisses all over her face works. It is so great to watch her smile and make her giggle, and I cannot wait to hear the adorable belly laugh. Another thing she has accomplished recently is grasping on to thing, things other than my earrings and hair. A week or two ago I introduced a love to her (a blanket with a Pooh head on it) and she started sucking on it while she napped. Now she holds it whenever she is in her bouncy chair. When she starts grasping the head more I am going to try and introduce larger toys.
Sunday we had our friends Randi and Matt over for lunch and games. We have gone to their house twice now for dinner and games so it felt nice to reciprocate the gesture. Our favorite games are Catch Phrase and Cranium, SO FUN! It is also great to have another couple with a baby to get together with. Their daughter is almost 6 months old and it is amazing to see the difference between her and Brooke. Part of me wants Brooke to stay little for ever but another wants her to reach more milestones, talk, walk, jump, run, play... okay, I'm getting carried away.
That is all I have for now.

House Shopping
This weekend Dustin and I are going house shopping and I could not be more excited. I know this can be a long process but I am glad to finally be starting it. Hopefully we will see some things we like and have fun at the same time. I cannot wait to pick out paint colors, decorate, and just have a house to call our own. And for now I shall push my mind from the annoyance of packing and moving.
No new pictures of Brooke but she is doing wonderful! I forgot to update on this but I think she is cured of her reflux. We started weaning her off her medicine a week or two ago and now are doing half of her normal dose every other night. She has not had problems for awhile now and even though she still spits up, she rarely cries during or after. So Praise the Lord for that!

3 Months Old!
Yesterday was Brooke's 3 month birthday! I still cannot believe how fast time is flying by and how quickly she is growing up. Before I know it she will be running around the house, chasing the dog with permanent markers.
Today I dressed her up in some baby legs -- a new fad apparently -- and took some pictures. During this time she found her feet! It was so adorable, as if she had just noticed she had them on the ends of her legs.
She has also started to attempt to hold on to things. Today she took a nap with a lovie in her arms and was sucking on it when I went in to check on her. She has not accomplished rolling yet but she does a good amount of sit ups on a daily basis!

The Blizzard of 2009
I guess we were about due for a harsh winter and apparently we are in a "Blizzard Watch". We have almost of foot of snow on the ground and are expecting to get 4-6 more inches plus high winds. What a nasty week! I cannot wait until the snow melts, the sun comes back, and I can take Brooke on a walk. AND today Brooke is actually napping! For the past week she has REFUSED to nap during the day and would rather be held. Today, she has decided napping is cooler than anything else, including eating. SO am I being productive you ask? NO. I am writing a blog entry and watching Hook.
Things around the Miller household are going well. Dustin is still really enjoying his job and is a wonderful daddy to Brooke. I love how men are silly and goofy around babies where women feel the need to protect and nurture. It is a great balance! She is already becoming a daddy's girl as well.
