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...






Dear Little Him: Mommie is a worrier! I worry that with my wacky schedule that I don't read to you enough, sing to you enough, play with you enough....sigh! I guess all new parents have concerns...Mostly I hope and desire that I guide you so that you are happy, engaged, and have an appetite for learning. Alas, I felt that despite your love of the shadows as they dance upon the ceiling, I wanted you to have other venues for development; other viewpoints. I wanted you to experience different colors, sounds, textures...so, Mommie procured a learning mat. YOU LOVE THIS MAT! I enjoy the mat almost as much as you...you get to gurgling and cooing and talking up a storm to the giant giraffe and the soft-touch monkey. I love to hear you express yourself as you play. For Mommie it is magic!

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
