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!

July 4, 2010 -- an Unforgettable Evening...






Pictures Bottom to Top: Daddy and Remington Snuggling, Daddy and Reme Watching Fireworks, Sparkly Fountain, Glowing Fountain (all were taken July 4,2010 in Tooele, Utah).~~~Dear Duckie: Tonight was your very first Fourth of July fireworks celebration...Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Jeff came over to ensure it was a very special evening. We started out having yummy dessert (brownies and ice cream) and then went outside to light off fireworks. Daddy purchased a small kit that contained fountain sparklers (nothing to loud or whistle-y for this year). Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Jeff brought some neat fountains and Mommie's favorite -- the oriental flowers (they remind me of colored and moving Pac Men ghost's). You didn't cry or get fussy; in fact, you were riveted by the beautiful lights. It was so much fun to watch you enjoying the light display. I feel so fortunate that I got to experience this moment in time with you.

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
