Daddy's Girl

It is true that this little girl loves her daddy. And he loves her. He continues to amaze me everyday with how selfless and loving he is with his baby girl. Sure, there are days when I worry that he is a big pushover when it comes to her. Especially on days like today. We made an early trip to Toys R Us just to look around. It wasn't long after plunking her little tush into the cart that we had pretty hefty load. If she wanted it, Daddy let her hold it. "Holding it" means "keeping it" if you're a 15 months old. She wasn't happy when Mama started putting things back. We left the store with only 3 things, but they were 3 wonderful things in the eyes of our girl. First, we have #1 and 2... Balls. Are you surprised? She screamed like she was on fire when we strolled past the ball bin. She wanted them all, but Daddy drew the line at these two. We now have 1,456, 398 balls in this house.

And then there is #3...this wonderful creation. Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Learning Home. She would have rather had the Barney doll, gumball machine, gigantic stuffed bear, and wagon that we had to put back, but Daddy really wanted her to have this. I just knew she would love it and Daddy agreed. We were right. It was a huge hit. And if I must say, it is REALLY awesome. It kept her entertained for hours, literally. Plus, she got to put all her dance moves to work with the cool sound effects and songs (tomorrow, I'm going to find the mute button). And the girl has moves. For real.

"Wow! Look at the porch light!!!"

"Hi, Mom! It's pretty cool back here!"

Merry (early) Christmas, Baby Girl. Daddy loves you more than you know. Someday, you will understand this and it will make you happier than you were today!
