Do not touch my blanky. The Skylar does not like it when you touch the blanky. You must suffer the Skylar karate hack-saw punch!

Tom = baby jedi
Tom and family came by one night during the week 8/25 to see Skylar. Susan immediately termed Tom the baby whisperer and now anytime Tom is within 50 feet of Skylar Susan attaches the baby to him.
Tom is really good with babies – that’s where I get it from obviously.

Grandma Kim
Susan had these ridiculous hand muffs that she put on Skylar so she wouldn’t scratch herself. I guess they served a purpose, but they looked kind of funny and I felt bad for her because she was unable to use all her appendages.
Grandma Kim wanted some posed pics of her and the baby, so here you go:

Harris bath time
8/21/2010 Grandma and Grandpa Harris came to visit. We had so many visitors coming by that I told Susan we had to put them to work if we were ever going to get anything done – so grandma gave Skylar a bath that night. We love bath time, mainly because all Harris’ love the head rub…ahhh…head rubs…

Papa D and Skylar
Grandma and Papa D came to visit us in Reston on Friday, 8/6/2010. Horace got lots of time with Skylar – so much that they both started sleeping on the sofa. One may have been induced by a drink of bourbon on the rocks – I won’t say who.

Skylar poses for camera
Susan needed shots for our baby announcements, so I setup an impromptu photo session on the bed one Saturday morning.

Frog Baby
Tonight I was flipping through my Skylar pics and couldn’t believe how much she has grown in only 3 months. I remember that first week of being home and thinking – it’s a miracle she survived us!
For the first month Skylar would curl up similar to how she had been in the womb. She would cross her legs and pull them up into her body – looking like a little frog baby. Susan kept pulling them down straight 🙂
Also, everybody in this family sports the hawk. Checkout Skylars awesome spike frontside and profile!

Sharon and Josh Wedding
Susan and I traveled to Kiawah Island South Carolina for Josh and Sharons wedding. It’s this super wealthy area with very Southern touches tucked away from the rest of the world.
During the course of driving from the airport to the island we passed over 20 Churches in a 7 mile stretch – and this is not a city. We were in the middle of nowhere. There were more Churches than houses!
I think Josh wanted to have the wedding in S.C. because he had discovered something called FireFly – tea flavored vodka. Whew, the stuff is dangerous. Josh (not the groom), his wife Natalie, and myself drank more than our fair share as the pictures clearly illustrate 🙂

Taco sports the hawk
Susan had the excellent idea of giving Taco a summer haircut for 2010. Here you can see some pics of her sporting the hawk as well as some older shots I had that hadn’t been posted.

On becoming a leader
3.5 out of 5 stars. Written by Warren Bennis.
- You set the context. Refuse to be defined by others around you, current events / markets/ environments, or your own personal history. Define and understand what is truly important.
- Ingredients of leadership:
- Vision – a clear idea of what you want to do.
- Passion – love what you do.
- Integrity – understand yourself, be honest, be mature.
- Curiosity and daring – try new things and don’t be afraid to fail.
- Accept responsibility – blame no one.
- Reflect on your experiences.
- Understand your personal history so that you can be master of your life not its servant.
