This weekend we will celebrate your first Father's Day! You've been Daddy or Daddio for the last seven months and you have seriously ROCKED it. I always knew you would be a great dad but you exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. I know without a shadow of a doubt you love our daughter more than anything in this whole world. I know I don't tell you enough how amazing you are and I am sorry for that. I take for granted how good you are with her and how much you help me. You show me every day what an amazing Daddy you are. You used to not be much of a morning person but now you roll over as soon as you hear her and say "Good morning baby girl" and she smiles that beautiful smile. I hear you two chatting as you change her diaper and then feed her while I get ready. I love that you bring her to meet me at the door when I get home. And when I bring her to the door to meet you on my days off, I love that she smiles and kicks her legs because she is so excited her daddy is home. Y'all's bath routine may be my favorite part of the day. I try to find something else to do so you two can spend time together. You sing to her and yall play with her toys to her little hearts content. I've seen my sweet husband with quite a weak stomach man up on some pretty rough diapers. You've ridden in the back seat during a mid-ride melt down just to hold her hand and tell her "Its ok baby girl, daddy's got you." And you do. Every day for the rest of your life she will know her Daddy has "got her." She will know that you are her safe place. The one man in her life who won't hurt her or let her down. She will always know that the safest place is in your arms whether she is 2 or 20. I can't wait to watch her grow and see all thing you will teach her. I hope she is like you. So outgoing and not afraid of anything.
Mark, I hope you know how proud I am of you. Havning a baby is so much harder than we ever expected but it is also so much more fun. I have never expierenced love like this and to share it with you is truly a privilege. I used to think you were put on this Earth to be my husband. But now I know it was something far more important. It was to be her Daddy. And oh how lucky is she to have you. Thank you Mark for being amazing. Not just on Father's Day, but everyday. You mean the absolute World to us. I'm so thankful God chose you to be the Head of our Household! We love you more than you could ever know, Daddio:)
With love, your girls
Caitlin & Tenley
