That's daddy's little princess right there. #ShalayaDenise #PrincessLaya (at Chicago, Illinois)

That's my little diva. You know she got a little tomboy in her so don't let the cuteness fool you. #PrincessLaya #ShalayaDenise

It seems for the longest time, I wondered if I was doing a good job as a father. Well this is proof that my work speaks for itself. Unlike most co-parents, my daughter's mother always gave me credit where it was due and just because I couldn't take pictures of everything I ever bought Shalaya as I took care of my daughter from a 6 hour, 2-300 mile distance but I have a lot of pictures of Shalaya and she's been rocking 4 straight years worth of shoes and outfits and her needs were always taken care of as well. Like that 1st pic says, Niq had given me full control of what I do for Shalaya so she never took the credit for the effort I worked so hard to establish because she was never bitter about us and never used our past shortcomings as a way to use Shalaya as a pawn to use against me. As you can see, you can see where my money and effort has always gone. So when Shaniqua has always said that I have always been doing for our child since day 1, I got the truth straight from her as I have stood next to Niq to see and listen to her compliment me to everyone and I mean EVERYONE and she's never had to go back on her words. I waited 27 years to finally do what I always wanted to do and that's be the father I know I can be. #ShalayaDenise #PrincessLaya #TeamMurphy

It's December and the last month of the year so it's that time again where I do an evolution collage of my daughter. She gets prettier and prettier as the years go by and I'm proud to say that I'm the father of this beautiful princess. #ShalayaDenise #PrincessLaya #DaddysLittlePrincess

My daughter Shalaya on her birthday every year from the day she was born. That's quite the evolution for just 3 years. #ShalayaDenise #PrincessLaya

On May 21st 2014, Shalaya Denise Murphy was born. As Shalaya gets older, the more Shalaya's looks balances evenly between her mother and father. For the first time ever, you can see it for yourself. Shalaya is both of our "Mini Me's". Also from then to now. #ShalayaDenise #PrincessLaya

It's officially my baby's 3rd birthday. Happy Birthday Princess Shalaya Denise Murphy. I was the first to see you come into this world and I can't believe it's been 3 years. Daddy loves you and is so proud of you. #ShalayaDenise #PrincessLaya
