Father Knows Best





I've been meaning to publish a post like this since Maddie was only a few days old.

We (Maddie and I) are both in awe of our dearest, sweetest, most doting and caring hubby/papa, Marvelous Matty! Matt LOVES his little "punkin'-patch" baby girl. He treats little Madison Mae like a princess, showering her with love. He leaves her wanting NOTHING, and works tirelessly to make sure each and every one of her needs are met. Sometimes were girls can be nutty and exhausting, be he never stops loving us. We are truly so lucky, and, boy, do we know it!

Matt sees our needs before we ever have to say anything. Just a few examples of his thoughtfulness include:
1. In the hospital the nurses/lactation specialist mentioned that a Boppy might helpful when nursing. Matt didn't make me wait a day before he went right out and found us one. He even went the extra mile by finding the sweetest, softest pink cover for it in Maddie and my favorite fabric!


2. He found the cutest car sign to announce we had precious cargo in our backseat (something I would have never thought of) and began driving super cautiously to protect our sweet peanut as we cruised in the car. He even found a little mirror that would bounce back the reflection of the cutie in the car-seat as you glanced in the rear-view mirror (another tender touch I would have overlooked).



3. Matt insisted that Maddie have the best bottles, pacifiers, and diapers. When Maddie struggled to latch on to her Mam paci, we tried the NUK (she eventually went back to the Mam with great success). When the generic Wal-Mart diapers gave Maddie a bright red bum, he didn't make us finish out the pack before finding a more deluxe brand.


4. Matty loves to give Maddie her baths and bonds with her each night as he rocks her and puts her to bed. Oh, ya! And of course he...
5. Lovingly designed and created her beautiful nursery.

There are a million little evidences of how much Daddy loves Maddie. Matt is a man of ACTION and always says that actions speak louder than words. He can talk the talk, AND walk the walk. Thank you, babers, for SHOWING (not just telling) us how much you love us. WE ARE SOOOOOOOOOO LUCKY!

What a sweet post and a sweet husband and father. It reminds me of one of my favorite sayings:
I like hugs.
I like kisses.
But what I love is help with the dishes!
