The Backyard and Mosquitos

The weather is getting hot hot hot here! We love our big backyard but it's hard to stay out long when you are sweating.... So Mikey and I had been trying to come up with some cost effective ways to create shade. A gazebo would have been nice but they are too expensive, so we ordered a 30.00 triangle shade tarp thing off amazon. It's great! And a little tacky but that's just typical Brown style :) Isaiah could play outside all day if I let him.... He loves playing with the water and wandering around the yard. Lucy doesn't really like the hot weather so we try to play when she is napping. Here are some recent pics of Isaiah playing with his friends. They all happen to be fellow emergency medicine resident families and Isaiah's best buddies.

1985 and 2014

Last Sunday Lucy wore one of my old dresses to church..... Both at 3 months.

Lucy Ann Month 3

Lucy you are three months! You are coming out of the official newborn stage and entering full fledged babyhood. Though you are still my petite girl! You are wearing size 3 month clothes and size 1 diapers. Guess what you won? A year's supply of diapers from huggies! I didn't think I would really get them, but when we got back from our big trip, 30 boxes were waiting for us!

You are sleeping pretty good... You were only waking up once at night, but this week you started waking up twice or three times do to various problems (arms out, threw up, and so on) Hopefully you will get back to your 10 hour stretches! You take about four naps per day. When you are awake you like to be held or placed next to your brother. Isaiah loves to give you kisses now and will often try to share his toys with you.

You go to bed at 6:30ish, same time as Isaiah, which is so nice! You listen to Isaiah's bedtime stories and songs. You wake up happy most times, talking and babbling. You can't lift your head up very well, so I guess you need more tummy time!

During this month you met all your Miller relatives at the outer banks! This was also your first trip to the beach and you seemed to enjoy it :) Next month you will get to meet the other side of your family in Denver :) We love you!

And it's Mother's Day today... I love being a mom to you and Isaiah :)

Outerbanks #millersobx

We just got back from an amazing week at the beach with my entire family! We rented a big house, right on the beach with a pool. It was the perfect set up for our big family. The west coast Millers traveled all the way across the country and Matthew and his girlfriend Elizabeth drove down from Washington D.C. What did we do the whole time? Swam in the pool, played at the beach, chased toddlers and held babies.... It was the same routine but different! It was so nice to be together as a family and for Mikey to be off from work.
