Ryan Reynolds' fatherhood tweets are the perfect antidote to dad bloggers

The actor's daughter has prompted some of the best ripostes to the saccharine world of dad blogging we've ever seen

Ryan Reynolds has a young daughter, and those in possession of an infant of a similar age will appreciate that, at times, they're a bit annoying.
