Saturday Number 8 and 9

I'm behind on my posts but it's kind of fitting that these two Saturdays are together because they were each spent with a Godparent. 

Saturday Number 8
You got to spend the day with Aunt Cole (your Godmother). This is huge! Godmother Cole is one of the best people God put on this Earth so spending time with her should make you feel muy importante. Aunt Cole and I met Freshman year of college and have pretty much been inseparable ever since.  There are very few people on this planet that just get me, she is one of those people (The other is Aunt Sissa, also one of the best people on Earth).

Aunt Cole flew from Winston-Salem, NC to Huntsville to drop her daughter Lily off with her grandparents then drove 6 hours to meet you. Yeah, you are a pretty big deal to her.

We gave you a bath and then we took you to lunch.  Daddy walked around with you while Aunt Cole and I chatted about how wonderful you are.
She took this picture of your Daddy and me.
I personally love this picture because you look freaked out or maybe like you smelled something funny. Either way it's hilarious.

This is one of many reasons why I love your Godmother, you can see in her eyes how much love she has for you. If something happens to your Mommy and Daddy you will live with Godmother Cole and I couldn't be happier with this decision. I don't want to die of course but knowing you are safe in this woman's arms makes me happy.
You were sitting in the back seat of the car  fast asleep with your Godmother when suddenly you woke up and just grinned ear to ear at her. I'm pretty sure this marks the day you fell in love with Godmother Cole.
Godmother Cole created this instagram of you and me. While I look like I'm missing teeth (I hate when I make this face and I make it often) it captures you so well. All smiles and sunshine.

Godmother Cole, we can't wait for another visit.

Saturday Number 9
You spent this Saturday with your Uncle Matt.  Well that's kind of not true. Uncle Matt took Daddy to a Braves game and was gone most of the day but you spent a lot of time with him in the morning.

Since you were born I have thought you had your Uncles eyes and seeing you togther only reaffirmed this feeling. Your expressiongs are all Daddy but your eyes are Uncle Matt for sure.  He loves you quite a bit. He just kept saying "look how tiny she is, I mean, where is the rest of her".  In his defense he doesn't have children and I think he thought you would greet him riding a trike in the driveway. He, like the rest of us, is learning a lot because of you.

You actually spent most of the day with your Big Dad while Mommy and Grammy went shopping for bedding for your new room. Yes, I'm fully aware you are only 8 weeks old but you will move into the bedroom across the hall when you're a big girl. (Twin beds that were mine when I was a kid)

That's right I don't have pictures of your Big Dad but I do have pictures of your new bedroom. I need to get my priorities straight.

The First Day of Daycare and other happenings

Last week we started daycare.  The reason I say we is because Darren and I both had to get used to the new routine and the morning I took Stella really felt like my first day at school. How weird am I? The minute we entered the daycare I felt good though. It smelled like blueberry muffins first of all! I mean, an ax murder's house doesn't smell like blueberry muffins right? When we walked into the infant room the three babies that were there were all smiles and the teacher was very sweet.  Stella on the other hand wasn't so easy. It was actually time for a nap for her and her lower lip started quivering and she gave me this sad little face. I had to keep telling myself it wasn't separation anxiety because she's way too young for that. I picked her up and started rocking her and then gave her to another teacher who was excited to hold her and figured out immediately that Stella loves being propped on a shoulder.  I felt really good about leaving but it still took m...

That's a Real Baby!

Darren and I got to see our little baby this week! He/she is measuring 13 weeks and 1 day and everything looked healthy. This picture cracks me up because the baby looks like it's pouting because we woke it up.  We did though, the tech was pushing on my belly like I do when I'm trying to get into pair of jeans that are too small!  Baby Hawk wouldn't move! Enter the Kashi cereal bar.  I hadn't eaten in nearly 4 hours (the appointment was VERY long) so I ate my Kashi bar that I always keep in my purse for ultrasound emergencies. BOOM, baby Hawk was wiggling and sucking and even looked like he/she was sucking it's thumb! Yes, this is indeed my baby, I go nuts for food too! I do think the profile looks like Darren though. Darren makes this cute pouty face when he's being funny.  So, the mystery is solved, this is Darren's baby. Whew, we were wondering. I'm totally kidding people! This picture is sort of creepy to me but I must share my 3-D picture. I...

From Doer to Leader, 5 Tips to Make the Transition

You did it! You got the promotion and now manage a team. It doesn't matter if it's a team of 1 or 100 your skill set must shift from doer to leader. While many a doer get promoted, few take on the actual characteristics of a leader. Instead they stay in doer mode causing frustration, resentment and turnover in their organization. This is what I refer to as "death by doer." Killing all hope, creativity and productivity of a team. Don't become the grim reaper of your team. Instead adopt these simple behaviors to ignite passion in your group and share your doer gifts. Stop doing and starting teaching Why were you such a successful doer? Because you thought differently than your peers. It's time to share that thinking with your team. As a leader it's your job to teach your team how to think, not what to think. Many a leader get caught up in micromanaging tasks. They believe there is only one way to accomplish a task and it's theirs. This is the u...
