“My first Father’s Day means that from this day forward— I will start to look my age (and older). Most importantly, it means that for the rest of my life, I’ll always be known as someone’s dad. And that’s all I ever wanted. Happy Father’s day,” he added.
Stamos became a father for the first time on April 10 when he and wifeCaitlin McHughwelcomed their son William “Billy” Christopher into the world.
“Happy 1st Father’s Day to the best new daddy! I knew you’d be a great father, but you’ve exceeded expectations. You change diapers! Lol, and so much more, of course. We love you most,” McHugh said in a tribute to her husband onInstagramSunday.

“It was Mother’s Day and Caitlin’s birthday, so we went down to Laguna [Beach], and it was the first time we didn’t have a nanny — that was rough!” hetold PEOPLEin late May. “[But] so far, it’s been a dream, and when I look at him, I feel like I’ve been thinking about that face for a long time.”
Stamos also said that fatherhood has been everything that he expected it would be, and it’s deepened his connection to his country.
“I always knew it was going to be like this,” he explained. “It took me longer than it should’ve, but I knew that I would be a family and be contributing to this country, and holding onto the morals and the values that my parents had, that I like to think of the world having. It’s a time to be kind and graceful to people. It just takes so much energy to block all the negativity. I’m really trying to get people together.”
