I have thoroughly enjoyed being a father. My daughter is soon to be 19 months and impressing me everyday with her abilities. She has recently started calling me "daddy." This has been a neat change. Also, when she can't find me around the house, she says, "Daddy r u?" and then comes to look for me. Her two favorite things right now are airpanes and her slide. Being close to an Air Force base there is never a shortage of planes and whenever the noise of one can be heard she stops what she is doing, gets a surprised look on her face, points to the sky and says, "airpane." We have a small slide in the living room. This weekend she learned to go down head first and is a total daredevil. I love her very much.
