There are some lovely, yet fairly ordinary, moments that always make me wish my camera was to hand, and last Sunday I luckily had my camera within reach when one of them happened. James was visiting for the weekend and before he left he wanted to make sure he had plenty of Lydia time… they were being silly and playing together in the way that only Daddies and their children can, and this happened:
So much joy in Lydie’s face; “Daddy is here, and we are playing together!” A few hours after this, Lydia was asleep having her nap and James drove away again, back to his Mum’s house, and back to work. BUT this time next week we will have just woken up from our first night in our new house, and we will all be living together again, for the first time this year! I am getting very excited.
One of the reasons I loved this photo so much, and this moment, was because Lydia has had so little Daddy time over the past 3 months, to see her playing so happily and joyfully with James was absolutely wonderful. Lydie is a big Daddy’s girl and it was a difficult thing to do, separating her from her favourite person in the whole world. While we’ve been staying here she has latched herself on to my Dad instead, but going by these photos I don’t think it will take long for James and his LydieLiz to regain the close relationship they had before we were “stranded in Cornwall”
And just because I can’t resist, a few more…
Love this – this is the sort of play time only daddies get up to – the kids love it, but I am always too scared of dropping them!
Wonderful dad and baby.. Love it:)

Thanks Caroline, the girls have really missed Daddy of the past few months so this “ordinary moment” was really quite special. Being back together in the new house will be great
Oh she loves it!! Great photos, all children love horsing around with Daddy x
Thanks Donna, I was so pleased I had a camera to hand! The girls love a bit of rough play with their Daddy, they’ve definitely missed it!
How fun! And yes, that’s what dads are made for. Lovely photos and moment 🙂
Thank you! She was having a whale of a time, I am glad I managed to capture it 🙂
Daddy time – lovely photos.
Thanks Fiona, she has really missed her daddy over the past 3 months!
Aw there is so much happiness and love in her little face for her Daddy. So sweet! I don’t think I will ever tire of watching mine together. x
Thank you – she really is a big Daddy’s girl. I could watch them play all day too 🙂 x
Such lovely photos! It really is a universal dad thing – nobody can make my little boy squeal with delight like his daddy can either.
Thank you, it was such a lovely moment I’m so pleased I managed to capture it! Lydia was having so much fun 🙂
