Carly's Amazing Father

There is nothing like watching the love between Dad & Daughter...and I am lucky enough to witness this love everyday. My husband has taken the role of father in stride. The job of a dad is not an easy one, even just 9 months in. It takes courage, wits, patience, limitless arm strength to play airplane, reflexes like a cat, and a strong stomach! My husband has got it down (except for the random diaper explosion that the poor man just can't handle alone...men, lol). There is a certain presence that he has mastered that Carly understands means business and it has rescued me a few times, love him for that. For those that are soon-to-be dads or maybe already are dads that need a little reminding, here is a list of Codes for Fathers of Daughters:

1. Love her child unconditionally. 
2. Push that stroller, no matter how colorful it may be. It's good for you.
3. Wear her because she loves being that close to your heart.
4. Take naps with her.
5. Embrace her need to explore- but never let her go.
6. Always kiss her goodbye & tell her you love her before you leave. Never forget.
7. Share your breakfast (lunch...or dinner) with her if it's her favorite.
8. It is your job to be the silly, funny, goofy one that makes her laugh.
9. Let her be girly- it's a good thing.
10. Most importantly, don't blink. She will grow up fast.

I love you babe, you are such a spectacular father. Carly is so so lucky to have you!
Happy Father's Day.
