retold~ the kissing booth

Chapter 30

Elle's Pov

"Come on, say ma- ma" I say, sounding it out
"Ma- ma" I repeat
My daughters lips part as she tries to speak,
"Ba- ba" she says happily
that's probably her favorite word because she loves her bottles. Wait until it's time for a big girl move up.

I lift her into my arms, her light 11 month old body rest in my arms and she leans her head on mine.
We walk into the kitchen where my husband stands preparing us dinner.

"Hi baby" he says, kissing my cheek
"Hi, what's cooking?" I ask. putting our daughter in her high chair.
"Corn, chicken and rice" he smiles
"Mm sounds delicious" I smile as I sit down.

My husband, Matt brings our dinner to the table. He sets my plate and his plate down then tends to our daughter and cuts up her dinner.
We have a little conversation as we eat.

"Is the food good baby girl?" Matt asks
I chuckle as she's to busy munching.
"Josie baby, slow down" I say
"She can eat just like her daddy" Matt laughs
"She's gonna get a tummy ache and daddy will be changing that diaper" I say, smirking
"hey. Violence is not needed" he says
I laugh.

We all finish up. Matt loads up the dishes and I wipe down Josie's high chair. Josie sits on the floor but occasionally stands up and does her little waddle walk.
"Babe I've got Josie if you wanna go shower" mat says
"Definitely. See ya in a few" I say giving him a kiss.

Matt's Pov

Just finishing up with the dishwasher I let elle go and get ready for the night.
Once she leaves I pick up Josie from the floor and take her to the couch and we sit.

"what show do you wanna watch jo?" I ask
"Bu- be" She says
she's pretty good with words that start will 'b'.
"Bubble guppies?" I question
a huge smile comes across her face "ya ya"
"you got it girl" I say.
picking up the remote I click over to the kids channel and put on bubble guppies. As soon as the song starts to play she's bouncing and clapping.

~later that night~
"shhh" I say as I rock jo.
she drinks on her bottle, fighting her sleep.
"mommy and daddy are sleepy baby girl so that means it's sleepy time for you" I whisper
"Mm" she mumbles as she spits out her now empty bottle.
"shh shh. mommy's sleeping" I say
I start to rock her and slowly her eyes start to fully close and boom she's out.

I carry her to her room and place her into her crib. As I lay her down I realize her first birthday will be approaching soon and after that it'll be big girl everything.
I smile at my thoughts and ease the door close.
Leaving her room and head to the bathroom to shower. Finishing up I fix myself up for bed and join my beautiful wife in bed.
