An Ode to Her Earthly Father


He's amazing.
He anticipates our needs.
He thinks ahead.
He is calm and level-headed.
He cleans.
He cooks.
He brings me food.
He brings me water.
He changes diapers.
He takes out the trash.
He cuddles.
He holds.
He takes her when I'm tired.
He walks with her when she's crying.
He swaddles.
He does laundry.
He helps with her baths.
He runs errands.
He tells me that I'm a good mom.
He makes me laugh.
He does more than I realize.
He takes care of me.
He takes care of her.
He loves me.
He loves her.
We love him.

  4. By the way, Hayley. This is a completely random thought. But, do you have a recipe for the cilantro jalapeno hummus?
