Baby Story!: Happy Father’s Day Daddy!

June 19, 2011 Filled under Kids & Babies, Mommy Joy

As an attempt to sleep in a little longer on the weekends, we usually bring our 9-month old into bed with us when she wakes up in the morning. We feed her her bottle in between us and hope she falls back asleep. This morning, after she finished her bottle, she wanted to stay up and play (which is what usually happens). As she was pulling my hair (for some reason, that’s fun for her, lol), I told her to tell Daddy “Happy Father’s Day”. So she did her little army worm crawl up to her daddy, and woke him up by getting in his face and yelling “Da Di Da Da Daaaaay!!!”. And then she gave him a kiss.

I hope she stays this sweet forever! :)
