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!

Love Letter to Remington...



Remington -- You were born on March 18th, 2010 at 8:17 pm and weighed 6 pounds, 7 ounces. You were 19 inches long. So many thoughts raced through my mind upon our first meeting...first and foremost, I believe you to be perfect. If there is one thing I can convey to you as you grow and learn from me is that I truly believe there is no limit to what you are capable of...Mommie had grand plans for her own journey that I feel would have enabled you to have amazing opportunities and experiences. However, many bumps in the road have prevented me from getting to my personal vision, but only because I have set limits upon myself and sometimes can't overcome them. Although, I can't offer you everything I ever dreamed of, or hoped for, I can offer you unconditional love. I hope you will always remember that I love you, that Daddy loves you, and that we will always be here to support you in every capacity you want and need. We will do everything in our power to ensure that your vision of your life's journey meets or exceeds your expectations...we love and adore you...

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
