Joe became a great father before Kayla was even born. He went with me to all my doctor appointments, talked to my belly and read books out loud so she would get to recognize his voice. He drove to the hospital basically one-handed because his other arm was reaching back between the seats for me to hold his hand and squeeze during contractions. He's been a "hands-on" dad since she was born - sharing in the diaper changes, bedtime routines, feedings (when she would take breast milk by a bottle!), giving her 99% of her baths, etc.
He has the qualities that I wish I had more of - patience being the main one!
She is daddy's little girl and I love watching them together. So in honor of Father's Day here are some of my favorite photos of them together...
The new, proud father
They look like they are having a conversation
