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!

Bubbles...



Duckie: The last few weeks have been a joy! You and I are both getting more daring; and, as a result, are trying new things. One of my favorite times with you has always been bath-time. However, I was a bit nervous about submerging you in water because I'd read somewhere that a baby can drown in as little as a teaspoon of water. Thank heavens for your Sister's and my friend Rachel! Your Sister's gave me so many tips and ideas that the nervous-ness waned. Rachel told me a story about bathing one of her children that made me laugh, and also not worry so much about it as long as you had continual supervision. So, over the last two weeks we tried showering and baths. It was nice to have options of cleaning you in things other than your Tummy Tub, or the sink. YOU LOVE THE WATER and are my very own water-baby! Because I was able to share these experiences, it has led me to try to find a Baby and Me Swim class. I think it would be neat to get you swimming as early as possible, especially since you like the water so much.

In the photo above, you were very engaged with the bubbles. You giggled and laughed, and splashed and played. Initially, you had bubbles on your head and chin to the point that you looked like Santa Claus! Daddy missed getting that on film by a fraction of a second...but you can see your little smile. I just love it!

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
