A Swift Romance - Tayvis

Date Night

"Hey baby! You must have had daddy up early today," I pick Sienna up from her playpen, walking towards the kitchen "Is he making us breakfast?"

She laughs at me, her adorable toothless smile making its appearance to brighten my day.

"She's been wide awake since 5:30. I think she wanted to see the sunrise. We sat out on the deck so she could lay on me and look around at everything."

"Aw you had a fun morning?"

I hold her up, smothering her perfect little face in kisses as she tugs on my hair laughing hysterically.

"You have the best little laugh, baby."

She leans into me, wrapping her little arms around my neck as her head rests on my chest peacefully. I watch every move she makes in amazement, still in awe that she's our baby.

"She already had a full bottle and successfully sneaked a bite of my banana I was trying to eat. I went to eat more of it and it was all gross."

"I gave her some of mine yesterday, I think she liked it."

He sets a plate in front of me at the table, taking Sisi from me so I can eat while they play.

She climbs around all over him as he watches, doing everything he can to make her laugh. He completely ignores everything he would typically do just to make sure she has all his attention as she makes a giant mess of his clothing and food.

"Sisi..." He eventually holds her up once she manages to spill his drink "Daddy loves you but we have to be careful. You're too little for big people's cups."

He turns her around to face him, giving her the biggest, messiest hug yet since she's covered in whatever juice he had.

"Travis, she's four months old. She has no idea what you're saying."

"Oh yeah so she doesn't understand this, but 'Sienna please stop biting mommy's nipples' she understands?"

"Hey you haven't had your nipples bitten when all you were trying to do was feed her. You can't talk."

"Uhhhh but she was sucking on them yesterday when you laid her on me. That could have really caused issues, Tay. What if there's something wrong with my nipple? It's still sore from her."

"Are you really trying to go there? Yours are sore? Mine have had all signs of life sucked out of them..."

"Okay so you might win that but it still didn't feel good. And she doesn't have real teeth yet so she can't bite."

"Just because they haven't fully broken through her gums yet doesn't mean it feels good when she attaches to them."

Sienna looks around at us smirking, having no idea what we're talking about, but somehow making the conversation funnier just by the adorable look on her face.

"I was thinking we should take her on a walk today. Maybe take the dogs. We haven't done that a lot yet."

"I know but I always feel bad because we have a blanket or something over her and she can't see. I wish everyone would stop trying to get pictures."

"Maybe if she wasn't so cute like her mama they wouldn't try."

He hands her over once she starts to squeal letting us know she's starving, acting like we haven't fed her in weeks.

"Man, that kid eats a lot. And she's so little at the same time."

"She gets her love of food from her mama. I taught her well."

I watch as she peacefully eats, not having a single care in the world. Her little hands hold my fingers, keeping me from eating myself, yet somehow making me so much happier than I ever thought I could be while so tired and hungry.
