Shestarts giggling and kicking her feet when she sees me.Anddamn that smile!Thatcute baby smile gets me every time.
“Hithere little princess!”Isay to her in a baby voice whenIpick her up.Ihold her in my arms and snuggle into her for a moment before moving to heat up her bottle. “Areyou hungry?”
Shegiggles and goes wild in my arms when she sees her bottle andIcan’t help but smile at her excitement.Ichange her diaper and am done just as her bottle is ready.Itake it and make sure it isn’t too hot before walking over to the rocking chair and sitting down with her in my arms and putting the nipple to her mouth.Sheinstantly latches on and begins to suck the milk down like a greedy little thing.
“Youare so precious to me, you know that?Youand your brother are my world.ButIdon’t know…Idon’t like the way you’ve got me wrapped around your little finger.Daddy’sgoing to have to be careful because pretty soon you’re going to have me bailing you out of your mischief, huh?”Icoo at her and she smiles around the nipple.
I’mdefinitely going to have to watch this one because she’s already crawling and getting into shit so who knows what the hell her little ass is going to have in store for me.Ilook up at the door for my wife, to see her standing there just as our son starts to fuss.
