Father & Daughter Days

Well, the first week is almost over. Mommy went back to work this week, and Charlotte and Daddy have had a great week! It's certainly a difference from a few weeks ago when my baby girl cried and cried whenever I would hold her. Now she is my little snuggler again. There is just no better feeling than having your baby girl nuzzle into your neck and fall asleep in your arms.

It is so amazing how you can just "feel" that your baby trusts you. How she just knows that you'll do anything to help her through her discomfort or just hold her so she can calm down for a nap.

Charlotte has gotten back to really snuggling into my arms and relaxing herself to sleep. The way she stares at me when I hold her... man. It gets to me. I can just hear her saying, "I love you Daddy" in that stare. At least until she's 7 or 8 and starts hating me for making her clean her room. :)

I am so thankful that I get to spend this time with her. I can already see her growing up too fast. She is such a good little girl. I couldn't be more proud of her.

When I read the part when you imagined Charlotte saying 'I love you', I thought, she will before you know it. Emily's only said 'I hate you' about 2 or 3 times, and I know she loves me. It will be the same for you. Keep on showering her with love. She'll grow up feeling so secure.

Me again. I posted a link to your blog on mine. Hope that's OK with you.
