There's something extra sweet about watching someone become a parent for the first time—and Alex Drummond's husband has taken to fatherhood like a total natural. Ever since baby Sofia came into the world almost six months ago, Mauricio has stepped into his new role as Dad in the best way. Even before she was born, he was busy building her nursery, helping Alex get everything set up, and making sure they had all the baby essentials. And now that she's here, he is wrapped around Sofia's tiny finger!

Over the past few months, Mauricio and Alex have fully embraced life as new parents. They've tag-teamed middle-of-the-night feedings, documented all her milestones, and shared the sweetest family moments along the way. Mauricio never seems to miss a chance to snuggle her close, especially when it leads to a shared nap. 😂 It's been so much fun to watch Alex and Mauricio figure out this whole parenting thing with a whole lot of love (and maybe a little bit of trial and error... as it should be!).

This Father's Day marks his very first, and it's safe to say he's earned the celebration. He wrote the most thoughtful tribute to Alex on her first Mother's Day, and something tells us she'll return the favor—maybe with a homemade brunch, a quiet morning with their little family, or just a few extra hours of sleep. Here, take a peek at some of Mauricio's best new dad moments so far. They're just too cute to miss!
