Aurelia's birth made Jonathan a father and the time he has spent with her has made him an incredible dad. They have such a beautiful, pure love for each other that has just blown Jonathan away from day one. Watching him with her, I know just how lucky Aurelia really is to have a dad who cares about her the way Jonathan does. One day, she will realize her good fortune as well.
The two of them have a morning ritual that involved Jonathan bending down into her crib for some face to face snuggling. She reaches out to him, touches his face and says words she saved all night just for him. Those moments are almost sacred. I captured some of that precious time this very special morning.
After their morning snuggle, Jonathan danced with his daughter. What a beautiful thing.
Reli sang a song earlier today, just for her Daddy. He wasn't here so I recorded it for him.
Happy Father's Day, Jonathan. You are a wonderful father.
melt our hearts--- Father's Day- Jonathan and "Grumps"

No truer words were ever written - you are awesome at this new career of DAD, Jonathan. I am so proud of you and how you relish your new responsibilities with this precious gift of a daughter. And that she rewards you on your first Father's Day with your very own song; well that is just too wonderful.

Thank you Honey. It's pretty fantastic to be Aurelia's dad, to be married to your daughter and to be part of your wonderful family.

Jonathan
