He Smiles! Kanye West Grins Ear To Ear As He Gives Baby North Piggyback Ride

Kanye West is definitely enjoying being a dad.

The rapper posed up with daughter North for an adorable snap taken by his baby mama, Kim Kardashian.

North has her little arms over her dad's shoulders, and it looks like she's been doing a bit -- well, maybe a lot -- of baby drooling but that isn't bothering West at all.

"My family" Kardashian simply wrote with the pic.

And his proud sister-in-law-to-be, Khloé Kardashian  wrote "Proud of what an awesome daddy Yeezy is."

Kim showed off the pic during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on Friday and told the talk show host "he is honestly the most amazing dad.  He loves her so much.  He really is a hands-on dad."
