Hi everyone. The other day my mama saw a website that my Auntie Sara created for my soon-to-be cousin *insert name here*. I got really jealous (because I want to be first at everything, just like my mama when she was little) and wanted to create my own blog. I already have a website with all of my pictures on it, but I don't get to tell everyone about what I'm learning to do every day on there. I'm sure I'll put some of my pictures on here also, but mostly this is so that everyone can keep posted on all of the weird new things that I'll learn how to do over the next few years. I know that some of you may be saying that two websites might be a bit much for one little girl like me, but I am a child of the digital age so get used to it.
I suppose I should tell you a little bit about myself to start things off. My name is Athena Marie Luccio and I am three and a half weeks old today (I was born on April 3rd). Neither my mama or my daddy have any other kids, which works out well for me because I love having their undivided attention. None of my grandmas or grandpas have any other grandkids yet either, so that's ever more attention for me. My Uncle Ian and Auntie Sara will have a baby soon though, so I'll have to share the spotlight. I'm a little bit bummed about this, but I'm way more excited about meeting my first cousin so I suppose it will be OK.
So far I haven't learned how to do a whole lot except eat, cry, sleep, and poop. I'm getting close to cracking my first smile though and I'm getting better at controlling my head and neck all on my own. My favorite things at the moment are eating and riding in the car (which my mama and daddy also like because I fall asleep almost every time). I've also recently started liking spending some time laying on my tummy while mama rubs my back. I'll keep you all posted as things change.
