You Belong To Me- Part 2 (KAYLOR)

318.

Time has been flying by. Four months have passed  and the agency is almost done with the remodel. Mikayla is now ten months old and growing by leaps and bounds. She is actively crawling all over the place, chasing Olivia. She's constantly speaking gibberish but can understand sentences when the girls talk to her. They've been trying really hard to get her to say mama and mommy. Karlie is convinced she heard her say mama, through the walkie one night but she never said it again so Taylor thought she was hearing things.

The baby has an extremely healthy appetite, which Taylor says she gets from Karlie. She'll eat pretty much anything you put in front of her but right now she loves yogurt and Cheerios.

Most days you can find Karlie holding the baby by the arms as the little one walks around the house. Every now and then when they're in the living room, Mikayla will stand up on her own by holding the couch and then she'll stand for a moment. The girls wait patiently for her to take a step but as soon as she attempts it, she falls on her butt.

Karlie had come downstairs and saw her girls sitting on the floor in the living room. Mikayla was playing with her toys as Taylor sat there wiping her eyes.

"Hey, what's the matter babe?" Karlie asked as she sat down behind her wife and wrapped her arms around her.

"I'm just sad. She doesn't want to breastfeed anymore."

"Aww, I'm sorry Tay. You know what the doctor said, most kids usually stop breastfeeding by the time they're a year old and sometimes they choose to stop on their own a little earlier, especially once they learn to drink from a cup. Bean has been drinking from a sippy cup for a month now."

"I know Kar, but I really enjoyed that. It was our time to bond together. I know it probably sounds stupid."

"No it doesn't, Taylor. Bean come here and give your mommy a hug."

Mikayla came crawling over to Taylor and placed her little hands on Taylor's legs as she tried to stand to her feet.

"Look at her babe. She's so determined to just get up and walk." Karlie said as she kissed the back of Taylor's shoulder.

The singer picked up her daughter and smothered her with kisses as Karlie placed her chin on Taylor's shoulder while making silly faces at the little one.
Mikayla reached for Karlie as she played peek-a-boo behind her wife's head, causing the baby to crack up.

"I just love her so much." Taylor said as she held the baby against her shoulder, so Karlie could kiss her.

"Hi mama's girl. Do you want some water and Cheerios? Say yes mama."

Karlie didn't get the response she wanted. Instead, Mikayla fought out of Taylor's grip and began crawling toward the kitchen.

"She's so smart." Karlie said as she got up. She grabbed her daughters hands and had her walk to the kitchen the rest of the way to strengthen her legs. "Come on cutie pie, say up." The model picked her up and placed her in her highchair. She grabbed a handful of Cheerios and put them on the tray. "Mikayla, one at a time. No need to shove a handful in your mouth."

The baby stared at her mother as her lower lip began to quiver.

"Tay, come quick!"

Mikayla continued to just stare at Karlie as Taylor walked in the kitchen.

"Tay, look at her. She has your pout. Look at her face."
