I never used to believe that I would ever be capable of being a father. I grew up in what pretty much amounted to a single parent household. My own father had a lot of things he had to work out when I was younger. Because of this, he was gone more than he was around. He wasn't a bad parent. He was just an absent one. Our relationship now is fairly

Can you ever really spoil a child? I think children are incredibly special creatures and it's our right to indulge them.

That kind of thinking could do me in.

Hello you. Violet is so amazingly gorgeous. Well, it's no surprise with parents like you and Jen!

[bengaffleck]

Hello to you, too. And thank you. Flatterer.

This is beautiful. I remember how nervous you were, I almost told them to give you the drugs instead. But you have been an amazing daddy for the first year and I know for all the rest of the years, you will too. I can't imagine anyone doing it better.

I think there's enough purple in your living now and enough presents already to make her officially spoiled. As she should be.

You should have, I think an epidural would have been fun!

You made me the happiest man in the world a little over a year ago, and I will never stop reminding you of that and thanking you for it.

That one word "Dad" makes more difference in a life than anyone can imagine until they hear it.

What's funny is people really can't imagine how true that is until they experience it for the first time. I was sure that I was as in love with my child as I could get when she was still in the womb, but I had no idea. It's gorgeous that you're spoiling her and loving her the way you do is what makes you a great dad, I think.

Believe me, you are going to fall more in love with her every day -- actually, every minute.
