Today was my most interesting day yet. I’m getting even better at eating and all sorts of other things. Lots of people came to visit.

Daddy took one of my blankets away, but that was ok because nice nurses keep bringing me more. Daddy said he was going somewhere else, a place called “home” for just a little while. It sounds very interesting. He said there are two furry creatures just about my size named Simon and Zoey, and that they might like me more if they smelled my blanket. So I said it was ok. I thought I heard something about a room in this “home” place just for me, but that doesn’t make sense because I’m always with Mommy and Daddy.

I know yesterday I was all gangbusters about my pacifier discovery, but it turned out to be just a passing fad. Other kids can have them if they want, but I’m changing with the times.

Let’s get something straight. If anyone asks how to pronounce my name, it’s with a soft “A”, like Ahhhhhhhriella. If you need to give me a nickname, Ella is ok, but not Ari. That’s a boys name! I’m not sure what a boy is, but I hear they’re yucchy.

There are even more wonderful photos of myself to look at today. Everyone says I’m the cutest baby ever, so it must be true. I’m way cuter than the other babies in the nursery if I do say so myself.

Late tonight Daddy did something he’d never done before, ever. He changed a diaper! He was pretty good at it, I only screamed a little. I think he’ll get even better with more practice. He learned from Mommy, she’s an diaper changing expert!
