Happy Father's Day


To the man-
That supported and encouraged me amazingly throughout our entire labor.
That cried with me, in a way I've never seen from him before, when we decided on a cesarean.
That gets me and Claire everything we ask for, even at 2am, and then 3am, and then 5am...
That likes to hold his baby away from him so that he can stare at her and watch her take it all in.
That likes to snuggle with her in the middle on the night when I'm pumping, even though she would go to sleep by herself.
That thinks of something he could make for her, and then wants to get working on it right away, no matter the time of day (or night).
That can calm her down always, even when I can't.
That has changed about 10 times as many diapers as I have, and never complains at all (and to this he would probably say "why would I complain? She's my baby too").
That is so proud with how much she looks like him.
That loves his daughter more than I thought possible.


Happy Father's Day honey, we love you.

That was and absolutely beautiful tribute to Hyrum. He IS a good daddy. It's fun to watch him love his daughter so much.
