Two years ago, I was just a guy who didn’t really know what I was doing. Whenever something new came along, I just went with the first thing that came into my head and hoped it was right.
Now, two years later, I’m pretty much still in the same boat.
My little girl celebrated her second birthday yesterday. Looking back on the day she was born, things seem so surreal. I remember her being born, but, when I look at pictures of her from that day, I don’t remember her ever being that small. All I see is how big she is now.
She runs, jumps, climbs, and (like her mother and grandmother) falls. She talks up a storm whether there’s anyone in the room with her or not. Her laugh is a beautiful sound, even though it sounds downright evil at times.
Watching her play is never dull. She’s always doing something entertaining. If you blow bubbles for her, she’ll chase after them saying, “I got it. I got it,” over and over.
She’s also not afraid to let you know what she wants. No matter what you’re doing, if you have something in your hands, she’ll knock it out of them, grab one of your fingers and pull you to whatever it is that she wants you to do for her. If you resist her pull, she’ll start crying until you either give in or she gets bored and moves on to something new.
Even though she’s a pain in the butt sometimes, I couldn’t have asked for a better daughter than the one I have been blessed with. Baby E, Daddy loves you very much and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life doing whatever I can to make you happy.

so sweet! happy 2nd bday baby E! 🙂
Thanks. She got everything she could possibly ask for. Spoiled???……Uhhhhh, no….
“Even though she’s a pain in the butt sometimes, I couldn’t have asked for a better daughter than the one I have been blessed with.” – This. This is so me right now.
Are you the pain in the butt, or the one who had the pain in the butt?
Both. 😉
What utter preciousness! Little girls will do that to their daddies. 🙂 My little one (now 18) was feisty and had no fear. When she was sweet she was sweet but when she was wasn’t happy – watch out! Her older brother was afraid of her especially since she liked to bite and pinch. I am happy to say that she has outgrown this stage. 🙂
I have a feeling that there will be some little boys who will be scared of her soon.
Happy Birthday Baby E!
She said, “haldsaneo aoisanl aswoink.”
OMG our kids’ birthdays are just days apart! Yours turned two, mine five. A huge difference, until it’s not. Here’s to celebrations, and falling down, and life, and your appreciation of her amazement. And to you. XOXO huge friend.
Well, Baby E’s birthday is two days before her mother’s….
That’s sweet! Happy Birthday, Baby E! She’s lucky to have such a loving daddy. Enjoy these years.
I hope she always feels lucky to have me for a daddy.
Happy Birthday to Baby E! It sounds like you’re doing just fine. 😀
I hope so, my dear Jaded.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Wait! Stop! Didn’t she just turn ONE????? Oh dear. Time is going by too quickly.
I know!!!!! Why does that always happen???
It doesn’t unless you put the batteries in. That was your mistake!
That is the sweetest thing I have read all week. I am going to stop reading tonight with this one. I like the feeling it leaves me with. Happy Birthday to your sweet baby girl!
Thanks. I’m glad it made you feel good.
Since my Little Girl is almost the same age, (she’ll be two in August) I can really relate. They are just the cutest most precious things on this earth.
