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!

Play Time...



Picture: Remington and a Favorite Toy.~~~Son, I don't always capture the gazillions of expressions you display and I'd hoped to get this one a bit better. When you are thinking, you furrow your brow just like Mommie does! To see a bit of me in you when you look like your Dad -- well, it takes my breath away. Today, you weren't sure about this toy. The bells chime in different keys, and then there is a section you pull that when played plays "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." The sun itself reminds me of a lion and the "rays" or "mane" crinkle when you touch them (it sounds like crumpling paper). Today you smiled at Mommie when I smiled at you. You did this in the Hospital and periodically until week 4. I take such delight in your smile so much because it warms my heart I am glad to see the smile back!

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
