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!

Bedtime, Precious Moments...






Pictures Bottom to Top: Duckie, My Big Boy!, Mr. Independent!, Remingtion Asleep with his Giraffe Blankie, Precious Moments.~~~Dear Duckie: This week you have been expressing your independence. It has been a little hard for Mommie, who wants you to stay her baby forever, but as all journey's must, forward steps have to be made. Since you've been determined to be more independent, Daddy and I thought it might be a good idea for you to sleep in your own bedroom. You seem to love your room every time we do a walk-about through the house, so despite how hard it is for me to loose sleep time with you, my "cuddle bug," we gave it a go. Mommie is a believer of co-sleeping, which we've been doing up until two days ago (you slept in your own bed for a full night on April 29th, 2010). You were amazing, and slept by yourself like you'd been doing it forever! You only fussed one time, but went right back to sleep. My heart was wrenched a bit...but I know that developmentally, it is a good thing. Silly Mommie slept right by the crib in a sleeping bag because you were more ready for this step than me. What I learned from this night is that no matter how hard it is for me to let me be who you need to be, it really is the right thing to do.

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
