Remington's Nick-names...

*Reme -- derived from your name, shortened.

*Duckie -- because in one of the first ultrasound pictures we had of you in utero, you resembeled a little duck with plumage atop the head. Your face was turned towards what looked like a duck's preening feathers at tail's end.

*Son-shine -- because Daddy sings a special song for you, all about you being his Son.

*Little Him -- this moniker came about because someone was talking to you about your Dad. They said: "we know you love Him (meaning Daddy)." After that, I started calling you "Little Him."

*Squeaker -- from Aunt Joyce because you squeaked at her every time she picked you up.

*Little Man -- from Daddy whenever he sings to you or says loving things to you.

*Cuddle Bug -- because you snuggle with Mommie whenever she burps you or whenever you are sleeping in her arms.

*Mommie's Tigger -- because as you are learning to walk and crawl you either get on your hands and knees and rock back and forth in a bouncing motion OR stand up and bounce, bounce, bounce. Also, you enjoy being bounced on the bed, or in your Exer-saucer. Sometimes you will stand on the couch, holding on to the back of the couch, me or Daddy and bounce away!

*Speed Racer -- because as you are crawling you move lightening fast!!!!!

*Mister -- Daddy started calling you "Mister" after you turned one year of age because you are maturing so fast. It is a nick-name that came about quite by accident...Daddy was trying to spit out Little Man, but somehow the words Mister Man came out and then got shortened to 'Mister.'

*Lil' Tornado -- because you are a whirlwind! You are interested in EVERYTHING and get into EVERYTHING...and as my adventurer...I think it is wonderful!

*Haaaaamm Sanwich -- because you have an amazing sense of humor!!! This nick-name started when you were 18 months old. You have the funnest personality!

Bath Time!






Pictures Bottom to Top: Bath-time, April 11, 2010, Duckie out of Water, Little Him getting his Hair Washed, Hmmm -- Maybe Bath-time IS Fun!~~~Reme, I love bath-time with you. At this stage in your life it is a ritual that relaxes both of us. So far, you are still too little to fit into your tub, which goes into the adult bath-tub, so we are still washing you in the Kitchen sink. After each bath, you get pampered -- Mom pats you dry, warms baby lotion and douses you in it using Dr. T. Berry Brazelton's touch-point technique...you also get your hair brushed and then you are dressed. For some reason, bath-time relieves all of my angst over the things gone wrong as I am learning about you...the ritual of bath-time just reminds me that we have a very special bond. What I have learned from bathing you is that every mistake I make as I try to anticipate your needs is a teaching mechanism that etches your cries, grunts, giggles, and smiles in my memory so I may discern the best way to help you. I feel that each day I have an opportunity to care for and love you I am given a gift...the gift of knowing you better, and that, my Son warms my heart beyond measure.

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
