Daddy's Girl

Matthew and I have had ideas about parenting from the moment we found out I was pregnant. Coming largely from the work we do, we have been exposed to a lot of really bad parents and are determined not to "be like them". Matthew has been about discipline from day one, telling me all his ideas about how to raise our child.

And then our little girl was born.

It took only a moment before this new daddy was wrapped around Charlotte's tiny little finger. I will never forget the look on his face when they brought our daughter to the warmer. He looked absolutely torn, wondering if he should be next to me or her. I told him to go meet our daughter and that was it. She had him.

Having been a daughter myself (still am, in fact), I know how special the daddy/daughter relationship is and it makes me so happy to know that this little girl will have a daddy that loves her as much as my daddy loves me.

And since pictures speak louder than words, here are a few of my favorite daddy/daughter pictures.





And my favorite...
