Love at first sight: Hayden Kho and Scarlet Snow Belo's first photos

It was love at first sight for Hayden Kho Jr. the moment he set eyes on his daughter Scarlet Snow Belo. Read for more details on the day Scarlet was born.

March 3, 2015–on that fateful day, it was love at first sight for Dr. Hayden Kho Jr. and his daughter Scarlet Snow Belo.

“I will never forget that feeling of falling deeply and madly in love with a person I just met,” Hayden wrote on his Instagram feed.

Looking at a picture of Hayden holding Scarlet in those first moments of life, one can almost feel the love flowing between this father and daughter duo.

Hayden, in particular, looks blissful as he stares down at baby Scarlet with love-struck eyes and the smallest of smiles. Even Scarlet looks content in her dad’s arms, beaming back up at him.

Hayden posted the heartwarming photo on July 1 on his Instagram account. And in other photos documenting the special day, Hayden’s joy is as clear as day.

Throwback to March 3, 2015 when our precious @scarletsnowbelo was born. I will never forget that feeling of falling deeply and madly in love with a person I just met. #LoveAtFirstSight

Scarlet’s earliest photos

Here is the first ever photo of Scarlet. It was taken immediately after she was born.

Hello world. This was taken immediately after I was born. Everyone kept saying I have big feet and hands. Maybe it’s because my dad is 6’3 or I might become a surgeon like mommy.????

Another photo taken on the same day was shared on Scarlet’s Instagram page, accompanied by a bible verse celebrating how wonderfully and fearfully made Scarlet is.

This is the Bible verse my dad reads to me every morning. 我要称谢你，因我受造奇妙可畏；你的作为奇妙，这是我心深知道的. In English, that means “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalms 139:14

I guess God knew fatherhood would change me completely and bring me closer to being the kind of man He always wanted me to be, so He sent me and Vicki an angel who is to be our lifelong inspiration. Ladies and gentlemen, meet our daughter, Scarlet Snow. @scarletsnowbelo

Hayden is not afraid to show his silly side when Scarlet is around!

One great thing about being a Dad is that i get to be silly again. Scarlet Snow, I’ll do ANYTHING just to see that smile on your face. I love you.

Hayden can’t wait to spend time with Scarlet after a week-long trip.

Finally home from a weeklong trip. Bonding time with @scarletsnowbelo to make up for the time I spent away. I think the greatest gift you can give your child is really your time. In baby @scarletsnowbelo’s equation, Time = Love.
