A gurgle of pure joy erupts from your little one. Tiny arms, chubby with rolls and dimpled at the elbows, shoot up in the air, reaching for you. The whole body bounces in the crib, a symphony of wiggling excitement. A wide, gummy grin splits the baby's face, revealing a crescent of pink tongue. With bright eyes that lock onto yours, sparkling with pure delight. A clear resemblance to you and your lover.

You lean closer, captivated by this display of pure happiness. A soft, melodic coo escapes their lips,

"Bababa!" followed by a determined, "Bah! Ba!"

A plush belly, impossibly soft and warm, pushes against the thin cotton sleepsuit.
