You know you have a new daddy in front of you if he is:
1. A tad bit over-protective. For instance within the first 15 min of having the baby at home as he gazes at his baby he says, "If any dog ever even barks at my daughter, I will drain its blood." (Just a note for you dog lovers, we have since walked past a few barking dogs with our daughter, and they all still have all of their blood.)
2. A tad bit unsure of himself. For instance when the baby is absolutely inconsolable and mommy has done everything a mommy can do, daddy stands to hold the baby vertical and rock back and forth. The new daddy says as the baby whimpers, "I am not very good at this." Yet within 2 minutes of that statement the new daddy's baby is sleeping soundly. (And the mommy is happily relaxing on the bed thinking she has the best husband in the world.)
3. Extremely in love with his daughter. You know a new daddy is in love with his daughter when every time he comes home and sees, holds, or thinks of his daughter he glows as he says, "She is so beautiful!" (The wife then glows because occasionally the new daddy follows this comment with the loving comment, "I knew I would have a beautiful daughter because I have a beautiful wife.")
What a good new daddy!

oh, such sweet observations! Isn't weird how the emotions just go back and forth w/this little new addition? I'm going to sound like an old lady when i say this (of course, i am older) but time really does fly.:) It's precious to see what you observe about new parenthood and it brings me back to those days that don't seem that long ago. Enjoy!
Franklin, you are so sweet! ~John & Charlotte
