You're Beautiful To Me

Once Anna has eaten I sit the bottle aside and lay her on her back inbetween us and she immediately brings her feet up and starts playing with them. "Look at those adorable little feet" Frank coos at her as he gently removes her hand from one and brings his face down, pretending to nibble on it which causes Anna to let out a small squeal and then much to my delight a little giggle. "Oh my god did she just?" I ask, Frank smiling wide at me as he says "Yep we just heard the first laugh." Anna wiggles her leg around so Frank does it again, pulling another delighted little squealing giggle from her and I laugh too as I say "I think she likes that." Frank lets go of her foot and brings his fingers down to gently tickle her stomach and her little arms and legs flail about as she squirms around, a huge smile on her face and she starts babbling, making a lot of little noises as she stares at him and Frank smiles at her and says "No that's my belly" before gently pulling her shirt up and leaning in to blow raspberries on her stomach while Anna shrieks again and her little hands make contact with the top of his head. Frank spends another few minutes playing with her before he scoops her up and stands her in his lap, his hands supporting her around her sides and her little hands come out to gently pat at his face, grabbing fistfuls of his hair and tugging on it while he playfully scolds her and she babbles back at him like she's scolding him too. After a few minutes she seems to get bored and her little head turns towards me and she tries to launch herself sideways out of Franks arms so I reach out and take her, standing her in my lap and cuddling her to my chest. "Did you miss me baby?" I ask and she babbles a little before rubbing her face against my robe while her little hands make fists around it. "Aww I love you too baby" I tell her, making Frank giggle and I reach out one hand and playfully shove him before wrapping it back around Anna.

After we pull ourselves out of bed I take Anna into her room and change her clothes before carrying her out to the kitchen where Frank is making breakfast. I sit at the table with Anna standing in my lap and she plays with my face until Frank sits the food on the table and I start to eat one handed while I hold her, her hands gently tugging on my hair now. "Ow Anna not so rough baby" I tell her as I reach up to gently loosen her hold on my hair. She squeals at me and smiles and I stick my tongue out at her and she reaches out to the and grab it. "No that's daddy's tongue" I tell her and her little face falls and she whines a little so I stick it out again and she squeals and reaches out for it again. "Oh so you wanna play like that huh?" I ask as I keep sticking my tongue in and out and she babbles at me, clearly having the time of her life. After breakfast is done Frank has band practice so I get ready and Anna and I go with him, Anna excited by all the loud noises and Frank brings his guitar over and lets her touch it, her little hand banging against it and playing with the strings.
