Happy Father's Day

I just wanted to wish the most deserving daddy in the world a happy first Father's Day. This little girl LOVES her daddy so much and gets excited every time she sees him. She definitely has him wrapped around her little finger already. Dan has been more than amazing as a father thus far. From day one he has loved every second he gets to spend with her. He is so kind, patient, and loving. When she was first born he would always help out with taking one of the middle of the night feedings. Often this meant that he would only get 4 hours or less of sleep since he had to be up for work by 3 am (He would then work 10-12 hour shifts, go to school, and work on homework before repeating it all over again the next day). He never once complained, instead he would boast about how awesome it was to get to spend time with his baby girl before starting his long days.

 Since going back to work it has been hard for me to leave Daphne, but the greatest bonus of doing so has been the quality time she has gotten with her daddy. Dan and I are working opposite shifts as much as possible this summer so that we can minimize the amount of help we need from others to watch her. The two of them have had such fun together! On Dan's second day of staying home with Daphne he sent me fun pictures of them enjoying their day. I LOVED receiving the pictures so much, especially since between working both my jobs that day I didn't get home until after she had gone to bed.





Dan, I hope that your first Father's Day is amazing, you deserve it. Love you.
