Daddy's Girl

When I first found out I was pregnant with Hannah, I was completely over-joyed! I did worry at first how Rick was going to feel about it as we had planned on waiting a while to start a family, but he was just as excited as I was when I told him the wonderful news. Since that moment, he has been the best father a child could ask for. He loves our daughter more than anything & is so wonderful to her. She is such a daddy's girl and I love watching the two of them together. I feel so lucky for Hannah that she has been so blessed with an awesome dad. He stays home with her in the morning while I go to work and all day on Wednesdays & he loves it. It's so nice that they have that daddy/daughter bonding time together.
Ever seen that commercial on TV with the guy with all the tattoos playing tea party with his little girl? Well, folks that is going to be my husband! On days that my patience is running a bit thin (I'd like to say that's never, but let's face it, this is real life & mama does get tired), he amazes me with his ability to step in and fix whatever the problem may be that day at that moment. I only wish sometimes that he would have the same patience with me as he does with Hannah (totally kidding). From the moment our beautiful baby girl blessed this world with her presence that man has been nothing but putty in her hands & I know that he wouldn't have it any other way.
As much as I don't want the time to go by any faster than it already has, I look forward to watching her grow up & how much she'll look up to & confide in her dad. As she grows into a woman, I hope she'll turn to him for advice on many things (I hope she'll turn to me too, but this post is all about dad), whether it be a man, job, or any decision in general that she may be struggling with or just wants a different point of view on. I hope they will have the type of relationship where she knows that she can talk to him about anything and that she'll know without a shadow of a doubt that her daddy loves her unconditionally no matter what. I often claim that I'm going to be the crazy mom who cries at everything, but something tells me that my dear husband will be fighting back a tear or two from time to time.
This adventure of parenting has been quite an eventful one already and I know that we have much more to look forward to as our baby girl grows up, but I'm not rushing anything and neither is her daddy. There are many uncertain things in this world, but the one I know for sure is that Hannah will always be daddy's little girl.
