Ariella Says: 1 Month of Magic, Milk, and Mama Snuggles

 

Hi world, it's me— Ariella! I've officially been here for one whole month, but mama was too busy to post it, so better late than never, right? Let me just say... so far, not too shabby. 

Sure, it's loud, bright, and people are obsessing with kissing my cheeks, but I get unlimited outfits and first-class cuddles. I could get used to this. 

My Current Vibe: 

Milk. Nap. Stare deeply into Mama's soul. Repeat. 

Making dinosaur noises at 2 a.m. because I'm mysterious like that. 

Keeping Mama and Daddy in shape with surprising workouts called "diaper sprint changes."

What I'm Into Right Now:

Warm bottles served with a side of love and side-eye. 

Being held like a burrito. I am the snack now. 

Sleeping on Daddy's chest — don't worry, I make sure he only gets one arm free, max. 

Staring into the middle distance like I just remembered a very important meeting with the ceiling. 

What I'm Not Into:

The cold wipes. Excuse me, I was cozy.  

Outfit changes. Did I spit up a little? Yes. Do I care? Absolutely not. 

Being put down. Ever. At all. Not even for two seconds. 

A Note to Mama:
Thank you for loving me through all the newness. I see you, even when my eyes are crossed. I feel safest in yours and Daddy's arms— and even when you're doubting yourself, you've already made my whole world. 

Alright, I've got a date with my swaddle and a dramatic yawn. Catch you next month with stronger kicks and even sassier squeaks. 

Love,
Ariella (tiny but mighty)
