I don't know how much I'd read into your dad. Parents are a different breed, you know. In a part of their heads/hearts you're always their little babe in arms - in this case, baby girl in arms. Especially when you're going into something dangerous or frightening. Caring for your young child and all the perceptions that support that are hard-wired, and they trump everything. I understand why the incident was hurtful, but I wouldn't be too quick to read anything into it about his acceptance of you.
