Saturday 13, 14 and 15

Saturday 13
We took family photos to document your 3 month birthday. We can't believe you are 3 months old! Funny enough you woke up all smiles, even giggling for us but then I put you down for your 2:30 nap and a very unhappy child woke up at 2.  You just weren't into smiling so unfortanely most of these photos you are just not having a good time. It also happened to be about 100 degrees outside and you sweat like your Daddy even at this age.



I'm still losing the baby weight so this isn't the most flattering side view but I love kissing your little head.

This picture is the best representation of you! Alert and happy. You're wearing one of my dresses that Grammy made me when I was your age.

Seriously, there's never been a prettier baby. You are my sweet doll baby.

You started crying so Daddy decided to put your down for a nap but the photographer followed us upstairs (love you Jennifer LeMay!) and snapped this adorable picture. Your father is obsessed with you. Obsessed isn't even a strong enough word. He's so protective and I feel like this picture totally captures that.
I'm slightly cheating here because on Sunday you met your grandfather (your Dad's Dad) for the first time. How could I not include this on your Saturday posts when it was such a big deal!! The funny thing about this meeting is that Papa Wayne was holding you and you started to cry and instinctivly he flipped you around (as seen below) and you stopped. This is how Daddy ALWAYS holds you when you get fussy. Some things truly are genetic.

After Papa Wayne left Daddy had you all to himself. He loves you so much it's cute.
Saturday 14
Nana and Papa Chicho came over for a few minutes to see you and play with you for a few minutes.  They brought your granddogs Rusty and Cha Ching.  Rusty is very fisty and Cha Ching is slightly (very) overweight and lays next to Chich mainly.  You watched the dogs run around the house and even let Rusty sniff your face. I think you may be an animal person.

Since I've gone back to work we mainly stay home on Saturdays and enjoy family time which is exactly what we did this day. You are such a joy.

Saturday 15
We had a lazy saturday and didn't get out of our pajamas until about 4PM. It was so fun just hanging out with you, playing and eating. You had a cold and weren't up for a big day so Daddy and I decided we weren't either. 

My favorite memory of today was when you woke up from your nap around 2PM.  I turned on Bedtime with The Beatles which is this amazing instramental album of Beatles songs (my favorite band). I started singing "And I Love Her" along with the instramental.  You stopped eating and looked up at me and grinned the biggest grin I've ever seen. Probably because I'm an amazing singer (not at all). Actually it's probably because I sang to you my entire pregnancy and my entire maternity leave but only now are you able to react! I will hold this moment in my heart forever.

    I remember you loving the Beatles and I remember you saying your favorite song was Please Please Me....dont ask me how I remember this (of course I could be smoking crack and this could be entirely untrue ha!)

    LOVE these pictures. Stella is so precious!!

    (And to answer your question, the pictures were from Anchor Park. It is really nice now!)

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...
