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!

My Lil' Cub...




Pictures Bottom to Top: "My Lil' Cub," "Heads-Up, 7-Up"~~~Dear Little Him, these pictures were taken on July 8th. On this day Mommie had to go through your Newborn to 3 month old clothes and sort them so they would not be intermingled with the clothes that fit you. I can't believe how much you've grown. You are longer and heavier in the infant carrier, which amazes me. Each day you add new skills to the repertoire of things you can do...you are sitting up with less bobbing, and raising your head. You still hate being put in a 5-point harness and so when you are in your swing or your carrier you lift up your head. It is a wonder to see.

I still feel like you are my special gift. I often say that you are the "love of my life." It was a 10 year adventure to get you here, and now I feel, I will have life-long adventures and happiness because you are a part of my world. I told Grandma Halverson once "Mom, I am too busy to be depressed." Each day that I get to hold you, see you smile, watch you play, hear your laughter brings more joy than I can express. You most definitely ARE the "love of my life."

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
