I was born on December 25, 2024, at Overlake Medical Hospital, weighing a perfect 3600 grams!
My name "Aariv" means "peaceful" or "calm" in Sanskrit. My parents chose this name because they wanted me to bring peace and joy to everyone I meet!
I surprised everyone with my first real smile! Mom says it wasn't just gas this time!
Dad made a silly face and I couldn't help but giggle! Everyone was so excited!
I rolled from my back to my tummy all by myself! Mom couldn't believe her eyes!
During tummy time, I started holding my head up like a champ! So strong already!
I made my first "coo" sound! Mom and Dad recorded it and play it on repeat!
I wasn't sure about this water thing at first, but now bath time is my favorite!

What an incredible first month it has been with our little Aariv! From figuring out feeding schedules to those middle-of-the-night cuddles, every moment has been precious. Aariv is already showing his personality - he loves being sung to and has the sweetest little expressions.

Aariv had his two-month checkup and the doctor says he's growing perfectly! He's becoming more alert every day and has started tracking objects with his eyes. The biggest highlight this month was his first real laugh - it happened when I was making silly faces during a diaper change. That sound is now my favorite thing in the world!

Big milestone this month - Aariv rolled over from his back to his tummy! He looked so surprised when it happened. He's also becoming quite the chatterbox with all his coos and babbles. We've started a bedtime routine with a warm bath, a story, and a lullaby, which seems to be helping him sleep for longer stretches at night.

Aariv is now 4 months old and his personality is really shining through! He's grabbing at everything within reach and is fascinated by his own hands. He's also becoming quite the social butterfly, smiling at everyone he meets. We had our first family picnic in the park this month, and he loved watching the leaves move in the breeze.

My dearest Aariv, watching you grow has been the greatest joy of my life. Your smile lights up the room just like your father's did when he was a baby. I can't wait to spoil you with cookies and stories when you're a bit older. Love you to the moon and back!
Hey little buddy! Your Ravi mama here. I've already got a tiny cricket bat ready for when you're old enough to play. Your parents are doing an amazing job, and you're the cutest nephew ever. Can't wait to teach you all the fun stuff your parents won't!
Aariv, you are so loved! We've been friends with your parents for years, and seeing their joy as they welcome you into their lives has been beautiful. We can't wait to see you grow and for you to play with our little one who's just a few months older than you. Sending lots of love!
