Day 317- Daddy and Me

You love your Daddy SO much. When he walks in the door from work, most days, you greet him with a happy squeal and open arms. And he loves you SO much. He will drop everything pretty quickly when he gets through the door so he can greet you with his open arms as well.

While you truly adore him, you don't really know yet just how lucky you are. Sometimes even I forget just how blessed we are, Nora. Let me tell you some of the things your Daddy does for you.

He dresses you, feeds you, reads to you, plays with you, takes you for rides in the car. He bathes you, rocks you, tickles you, hugs you, kisses you. He watches TV with you. He lets you have the last bite of whatever it is he is eating, if you want it. He even dances with you-- a rare occurrence for him until you decided that dancing daddy is soooo funny.

From early morning wake ups to late night feedings to 3 a.m. walking-the-floor dazes with a teething baby in excruciating pain, he's done it all.

All of these things probably sound ordinary, but you'll just have to trust me that YOUR Daddy is extraordinary.

Today was a dreary day, and we didn't take any pictures, so I'm going to take you for a little walk down memory lane from your first days until just yesterday.

 

These are just a few of the dozens of pictures I could have put here. You and your Daddy have a special relationship that fills my heart with so much joy. I just know you will grow to adore him more and more. There will probably come a time (hopefully it will be short) when you will forget just how awesome he is and how lucky you are, but I am confident that it won't last long before you get back to seeing, as I do, that you were blessed with the best Daddy in the world.
