Does everyone remember that "I'm just a baby" sound that went viral on social media around three years ago? We do. We remember it like it was yesterday. Mostly because we adopted that phrase into our daily lives whenever we didn't want to do something, but also because it was pawsitively adorable. Most people thought we were saying it as a joke, but little did they know, we really meant it. Wouldn't life be simpler if we were just a big baby and everyone took care of us?

The answer is yes, it would. But if we're really diving into this fantasy, we might as well get to choose what kind of baby we would be. Why be a human baby when we could be a fuzzy bear cub? Or a baby fennec fox with ears bigger than our whole bodies? It's because baby animals bring joy to everyone who looks at them, and so, we think it's awwppropriate to show you just how cute of a baby we could all be, if we could so choose. Choose wisely!

Bear? Puppy?

We're not exactly sure which animal this is, but it doesn't matter. It is friend-shaped, and therefore, we must befriend it. It's probably a puppy, but baby bears have been known to look quite puppy-like, or purrhaps the other way around, but it wouldn't hurt to enjoy our bathtime, right? It's just a baby.

Our partner's favorite animal is the penguin. It's our dream one day to take them to see penguins in the wild. The only problem is that as much as they love penguins, they hate the cold. So, it's either South America or South Africa. Both of which are very far away. But it's a dream we're willing to commit to!
