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!

Independence Day!





Dear Remington: Your first Fourth of July celebration was a success! You were delighted by the positive static in the air all day. I think you were anticipating the forthcoming firework show that Daddy had planned for you...you cooed, giggled, and babbled all day long. I was so happy to see you having such an amazing day. Your energy rubbed off on Mommie and all I could think of was this very energetic song:

"You're a Grand Ole Flag, You're a High Flying Flag
And Forever in Peace May You Wave
You're the Emblem of the Land I Love
The Home of the Free and the Brave

Every Heart Beats True for the Red, White, and Blue
Where There is Never a Boast or a Brag
Should All Aquaintence Be Forgot
Keep Your Eye on the Grand Ole Flag!"

The song makes Mommie very, very happy. I am feeling so fortunate to have you in my life and to be an American, where we have freedoms and opportunities that are unavailable in other countries. We are truly blessed!

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
