My Favorite Time of Day

My favorite time of Lily's day has the be the nightly Daddy time. I say this not only because it is time when I get a break, but also because I absolutely love to watch Josh with her. Each night, usually around 7pm, Josh gives Lily a bottle and spends some time talking to and snuggling with her. At first he was a little hesitant about giving the bottle and was awkward when trying to burp her, but now he's got it down. He usually asks her about her day and talks to her about his. Occasionally he will sing to her. It is adorable.

This is the time of day when she has a tendency to get fussy, but Josh really has a way of calming her down. She will look up at him and make faces and is even starting to "baby talk" to him sometimes. He loves to kiss her on the head and tell her how special and pretty she is. It is possibly the cutest thing in the world and makes my heart happy!

The next two nights Josh is out of town in Virginia speaking at William and Mary and recruiting for his program. While this is a honor and we are very proud of him, I think Lily and I will both greatly miss the nightly Daddy time. He is such a great dad!
