Dear Emily -
One of the greatest joys lately has been watching you with your dad. My heart just smiles, it's been a long time since I've seen a father completely melt when holding his daughter, and walk with such pride when she's in his arms :) He loves you so much, and it's obvious to anyone who sees you with him. He's also quite a natural too!
It's been exciting to be able to share things with him, not just over chat or even this blog, but for him to see things I share with him with his own eyes. Such as tonight, he was able to see your politeness and little talkings. He is such an amazing person, I find myself wanting to be able to share everything about you with him. Maybe it's because he's so patient and welcoming of whatever may come. I enjoy that about him. I wonder if you'll be this way too?
As much as I want to cherish every single day of your babyhood, and hope you don't grow up too fast, I also have felt myself looking forward to when you're older and can spend more time with him. "Time" came up in conversation tonight, which I'm glad for - it made me realize that rather then Jennifer hanging out with you while I try to catch the yard work up, your dad should be offered the fun joy of it :D He's coming over tomorrow, possibly with Patricia, to spend time with you while I work outside. For my mommy heart, this is great! I am close by if I feel the need to touch or kiss you, yet he's not having a mommy hover over him while he enjoys his own time with you :)
I'm so proud of him, and so proud of you too!
