A daddy/daughter moment





Taylor loves her daddy.... really, really loves her daddy. I mean, she has fun hanging out with mommy every day, but when daddy is home, her focus goes straight to him. She will lock her eyes on daddy and just stare and stare with a big toothy smile plastered across her face. Playing with daddy is such a special time for Taylor. Her favorite is to grab daddy's nose, cheeks, and eyeballs.

Thomas shared a story with me about a month ago that was so precious: Taylor woke up for a bottle one night as she often does. He got the bottle ready and rocked her gently while she ate. When she was done, he put her up to his chest and started to pat her on the back for a burp. She was not fully awake, and in her sleepiness she reached up with both arms and wrapped them around his neck and nuzzled her head into his shoulder, eyes closed. It was a sweet baby hug. Right then he understood what all fathers of daughters had been telling him: "That little girl will steal your heart and have you wrapped around her little finger." Just wait till she can crawl to him and say "daddy"... he's doesn't stand a chance!
