Squishy...

it never fails to amaze me just how happy and sweet that little girl's face looks when i walk thru the door. It's not an instant reaction. it takes her a second to figure out that daddy's home. then that grin which goes from ear to ear show's up, followed by her waving to me. sherry's exhausted and needs to go to bed, so it's my duty to put her to sleep. I know she may fuss sometimes, but just like with her sister. there is nothing as sweet as that little baby on my chest. taking in such deep breaths and dreaming such happy dreams.

before that though she found a fun little game. she took sherry's car ipod charger and crawled over to me to show it. she was waving it out in front of her right at me. when i reached for it. she moved her arm away and down by her side with a huge grin on her face. she's so smart and sweet. our little squishy was playing keep away. she was so proud of herself too. so i added in a little tickle to her neck....which only served to make her smile even bigger.

i could just squish those little squishy cheeks all day long. so in the end i won the fight and she went to sleep peacefully on my chest again. one arm wrapped around me. one arm playing with the back of her hair.

sweet baby

YOU ARE THE BEST DADDY a little girl could ask for. You love these girls so much that I can see it in your eyes EVERY single time you look at them or when I see you just sitting in the chair pretending to be watching TV and you're really just watching them play. They are truly blessed to have a daddy that actually wants to be a part of their lives and who takes every moment to heart! That's not something every little girl has but what every one longs for!!!!
