I only have one child (3.5 years old), but with my own experience as well as what I’ve talked to many people about, Dads basically spend the first 2 years loving their child but primarily supporting Mom, because the kid is so dependent on mom (literally physically for a period of time too).

Once you get to 2+ and language starts developing, your bond with the kid will skyrocket. Come up with good ideas for adventures with them and they’ll love you the way you’re hoping they will.
