ARIA HAS ARRIVED! A Precious Addition to the Wolf Retirement Navigation Family
We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of Andrea’s precious baby girl, Aria Taylor Buchannon, born on Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 12:01 a.m., the day before her older half-sister was born years ago. She weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces, and measured 20 inches. Our hearts are overflowing with joy and gratitude as we welcome this new little bundle of happiness into the world and our Wolf Retirement Navigation family! “Immediately right after her birth, I kept thinking to myself how I couldn’t believe I just did that,” Andrea tells us. “As they placed her on me, everything fell silent. I was in total awe of her at that moment in time. My husband Malcolm and my mom were amazing cheerleaders and helped me to make it through this crazy thing we call ‘childbirth.’”
While it’s easy to assume that Andrea came up with Aria’s name from the popular “Game of Thrones” television series, Andrea surprises everyone when she tells them that she was actually inspired by the novel Pretty Little Liars many years ago, and she bookmarked the name for when her time came to become a mom. The past month has gone by way too quickly for Andrea as she hangs on to every special moment with her sweet baby daughter. “It’s quite something to finally get to hold her. I dreamt of her and imagined what she’d look like and act like, and now I have the opportunity to sit and stare at her while I take in all of her adorable facial expressions and little movements,” Andrea relays with a smile.
Andrea and her husband plan to take Aria on her first Disney trip sometime in the fall once the weather has cooled off a bit and Aria is a little older. We will be sure to update you all with photos and a recap of their magical trip to Orlando! Andrea and Malcolm, we are so excited for you! Welcome to the world, beautiful Aria!
