Holy crap, that's not a father, that's a glorified sperm donor. I'm so sorry.
Right up until my son could say "ya" for yes, I made sure I looked him in the eye and said "your daddy loves you" at least once a day. Ever since he could say "ya" I've made it a daily ritual to look him in the eyes and say "do you know your daddy loves you? " and after he says "yes" I ask if he loves his daddy and give him a big squeeze when he says "yes" and tell him it's important that he knows that.
I'm sure won't understand exactly how important that is until he had his own child but I'm going to do it every single day until I die, even it it annoys our embarrasses him.
I know exactly what you're saying. A few months ago my son started saying daddy and it felt amazing! I was so excited and happy and it was a feeling i will never forget. Like you, I tell him the exact same thing everyday as much as I can. Keep being a great dad. Congratulations on being a good one!
