Brian Dowling and Arthur celebrated Blake’s big day over the weekend
Brian Dowling and Arthur Gourounlian marked quite a major milestone this weekend as daughter Blake turned two years old.
The proud dads shared adorable tributes to their beloved daughter online but it was Brian’s moving post that had his followers welling up.
The dad shared a series of photos of his daughter on Instagram and penned a heartfelt tribute to his ‘beautiful daughter’.
Brian wrote: “Happy Birthday, our beautiful Blake. How are you two years old already? You have made us grow in so many ways.
“My love for you grows each and every day. The GREATEST sound in my life to date is to hear you call me “Dada.
“You are my little best friend & you put a smile on my face every single day, even on those days when it’s all a bit much & I’m on the verge of tears,” Brian shared.
Brian said being around his daughter never fails to make him feel better even on the bad days.
“All we have to do is dance around the kitchen to “Top Of The World” or “Take A Look At Us Now” from Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile & all is good again.
“Blu is so lucky to have you as her big sister”
“Who would have thought when you turned 1 last year that a quick 12 months later baby Blu would be here & you would be a big sister?” he continued.
“Blu is so lucky to have you as her big sister. So today, with all our friends & family around us, we celebrate you. Blake Maria Rose Dowling Gourounlian, we LOVE YOU,” he gushed.
Brian’s emotional post comes after he revealed people were becoming ‘obsessed’ with taking his children away from him.
He told The Irish Mirror: “People [were] saying that we’d been reported and that our kids need to be forcibly removed from our home,’ Brian explained. ‘I just find it so odd that people are obsessed with it. It’s kind of alarming.”
“I recently said to Arthur that since our children have been born, I do feel like people are obsessed with trying to take them away from me. It’s a very odd feeling,” he confessed.
Blake is Brian and Arthur’s first daughter. Their second child, a daughter named Blu, was born earlier this year.
