During Nine Months

In Savani's first few weeks, she learned how to raise her head. Had her first bath and did tummy time in her first month. At eight weeks old, she began to smile and laugh, and she hasn't stopped since. They were even able to sleep through the night and began rolling over about the time she turned two months old. She began to grab, hold, reach, and clap things around three months old, including her own bottle. She began to crawl at five months. About six months, Liv began playing peek-a-boo with her, and Savani also began sitting up at that time. At eight months old, Savani began to pull herself up to stand. In addition, she received her first two teeth popping out from the bottom.


As Liv was about to give Savani her first solid foods, Savani and Liv were in the kitchen. Liv sets up her highchair on the table in the dining room. Liv records it for her and their memories while Spencer is at practice.


Liv: Just one bite Savani please?...just one little bite.


Savani turns her head away


Liv: Ughh (frowning her face)

Liv: I get it baby.


Savani smashes her hands down, playfully where the messy food was on her highchair table, and it splashed on liv.


Liv: Oh..okay i know, yep i miss your daddy too.

Liv: (thinks of an idea) Maybe I was doing this all wrong.


In an attempt to give Savani the impression that she is unable to feed herself, Liv attempts to pretend to feed herself and drops it on herself. Savani laughs and smiles as she looks at her mom.


Liv: What am I doing wrong...I don't know. Can you show me how it's done?


Finally, Savani takes a bite out of her food.


Liv: What?! How did you do that? You do it the best.

Savani: (smiles) Ma...ma

Liv: Omg baby, you said MAMA!


She sends the video to Spencer

Liv: Ha! Now you must wear the tutu wherever I want for 35 minutes!

Spencer: Dang you beat me to it, NOO baby we are not doing that.

Liv: Yesss we are Spencer, we pinky promised.

Spencer: NO WAYY! That shit embarrassing babe.

Liv: We don't back down from a challenge mr.James, now do we??

Spencer: No but fine.

Liv: We'll see you and your tutu on the field in a little. (Sends laughing emojis)

Spencer: IN THE FIELD?! You aint say nun about that.

Liv: We love you, Well see you later.

A few hours later, the women gather on the sidelines with their children to watch their husbands play football. Wearing jerseys with their husband's numbers and last name on them.


RiRi: Heyy y'all, look at my gbaby. She got so big and looking just like you still.

Liv: Heyy girl, yess and look at zari looking like the perfect mix of y'all!

Brooke: Hiii mir mir (smiling at her godson)

Serenity: Look at baby Jay looking just like Jayce. (Jaylen smiles at his godmom)

Jayda: Y'all did the biggest one.

Aubrey: Yesss they are all growing so fast.


While the girls are catching up with one another, they are also watching their husbands playing in the field. When the game is over, they all meet up with their husbands afterwards on the field.


Spencer: Wassup baby (kisses liv)

Liv: Hey babe (kisses Spencer)

Spencer: Hi baby girl (kisses vani head)

Savani: (smiles and laughs at her dada)


Liv takes a look around and sees all the dads and moms on the field as most of the kids are walking and running away from the dads as they laugh and smile. She has the idea of putting Savani down.


Liv: Baby back up for me.

Spencer: You think she would do it here?

Liv: I'm hoping so you need something today, since she said mama.


As Spencer backs up. Savani walks in the direction of her daddy. Liv and Spencer are shouting, "Go vani go vani gooo," in a low but excited tone. "Come to daddy," Spencer says. Savani laughs and smiles as she falls and then gets back up. Savani reaches her daddy as they become aware that they are on the 22-yard line. After that, he picks her up and tosses her into the air. kissing all over her face excited. Saying, "You Did It, Baby".


Liv: (smiles as she looks at Spencer and Savani) forget about me saying you should wear a tutu, this moment is so beautiful.


Spencer smirked and ran over to Olivia, holding his daughter in his arms. They embraced each other hugging before falling onto the ground in laughter.
