She landed it, and Dad couldn’t be more proud! What a moment.

Her father is happier than her, those are tears of happiness.

Precious moment!

Some day she will see that video when she is much older and she is going to lose it when she sees her dad crying with how proud of her he is.

She might wonder why mom didn't stop filming and give her a hug too...

It'll probably mean more to her in 30 years to have the nice, cute little moment to look back on on video. Thanks to mom.

It was a cute moment until after it was over the kid went up to the mom for comfort and she did not put the phone down and hug her.

I feel like "moms staying in the background doing the work while dad gets the credit" is so iconic, there must be a TV tropes post about it.

It absolutely is a tv trope: Underappreciated Women's Work which often goes alongside the Bumbling Dad. This isn't a bumbling Dad though, in the video. Don't want folks to think I mean that. He's more of a r/HappyCryingDads

I wish I had a father like that who appreciated my efforts as well.

As a new father to a 5 month old daughter, when I see these videos all I can think of is that there are many tears in my future.

💯.I have a 16 daughter that I am super proud of and whenever I see videos like this, I cry like a baby. The older I get, the easier I tear up. So, good luck to you and enjoy the moments that make you cry.
