Tobias POV

"Eli please eat it."I beg to Elizabeth.

She's refusing to eat her pea purée.

I make noises with my mouth as I try to move the spoon into her mouth.

She pushes it away literally and spills it all over my shirt.

"Eli!!"

I take off my shirt.I guess I'm going to have to do this shirtless.

"ELIZABETH EAT YOUR FOOD NOW!!!"I yell.

She looks at me startled.I rarely ever yell at her.

She starts crying and I pick her up.I bounce her lightly.

"Eli you know I don't like to tell at you. I just want you to eat your food."I say. I give her a kiss on the top of her head.

"Dada."She speaks for the first time.

I pull back and look at her.

"You said your first word baby!"

I spin her around.She giggles.

I sit her in her high chair and she welcomes the food wholeheartedly now.

"My baby girl just said her first word."I celebrate.She giggles at me.

I put my shirt back on and keep feeding her.

-------------

Elizabeth and I sit on the floor playing with her toys.

The doorbell rings.I pick up Eli and open the door.

"You?"I ask.
