Ari's the one doing the chicken dance. Do you have a niece? Someone who you think is the most adorable thing you have ever seen? Someone who you always want to give whatever they want? I have someone who qualifies for all of those things in my mind, and her name is Arianna Katherine Palmer and she’s the most amazing baby girl. This essay is all about her.
Arianna has a sense of humor already; at only a year and a half.(TS) We are always playing ridiculous games.(R) She loves peek-a-boo, especially when you throw a blanket over her face and pretend she isn’t there.(CM) We have played peek-a-boo for sometimes an hour straight and I don’t get bored because she laughs so much that it’s worth it.(CM2) She absolutely loves “bling”.(D) If you’ve got anything even remotely sparkly or shiny, it’s not yours anymore; now it’s hers.(CM) I’ve lost several rings to her, but luckily they were only plastic, cheap ones. (CM2)At the father/daughter ball this year, we bought her a light-up ring and she still carries it around, two months later.(CM3) I’m amazed she hasn’t lost it.(CM4) One game that she will only play with me (because I’m the only one that will do it willingly) is horse.(X) I put her on my hip and gallop down the hall or wherever we are going. (CM)I also say “ba-bump ba-bump ba-bump” as we go along.(CM2) Now though, Ari makes the sounds while I gallop.(CM3) I’m not allowed to stop though, because if I do, she claps her hands and yells, “Again! Again!” until we start running once more.(CM4)
I always feel special when I’m with Arianna because she loves her auntie Gracie. Most of the time, when she sees me coming, she screams very loudly and then claps hers hands together and grins. I’ve been told by my sister, Bekah, that when I’m not there, she always asks for me, and wants to see me. Sometimes, when I’ll be talking to them on the phone, you can hear Ari in the background screaming, “Gracie! Gracie!” She also really likes to eat my food. Sometimes, when we can’t get her to eat her dinner or lunch, Bekah will tell her that it’s my food and then she’ll happily finish it. Most of the time though, she drinks my milk. There is no other way to get her to drink it, not unless you tell her that it’s mine.
I love Arianna to pieces; she’s an amazing baby girl. She loves to be with me, you can see that when she runs to me. She doesn’t like strangers at all so when I’m holding her, if someone comes up that she doesn’t know, she will hide in my shoulder and not let go of me. Also, when she gets sleepy, sometimes she will just sit on my lap and fall asleep. When she was only a few months old, Bekah used to call me when Ari wouldn’t go to sleep because she used to fall asleep on me every time I held her. The running joke was that I’m too boring. You can’t help but laugh with Arianna, her laugh is infectious. No matter what she’s laughing at, even if she just slapped you in the face (which happens to me quite often, I’m her punching bag, apparently) you just have to giggle too. I think the main reason for that is because when you see her face light up with that baby laughter, there’s no way to hold in yours as well.
Arianna is an amazing baby and I’m so glad I get to share her life. She’s already got a beautiful sense of humor. I love her so much and she’s outstanding. Being with her and knowing she cares for me as well makes me feel special and glad to be her aunt. No matter what, you always need to stay close to your family and make sure you care for them and make them happy.
