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 19, 2010 -- Four Month Check-Up...





Pictures Bottom to Top: "M-i-c-k-e-y M-o-u-s-e!," "Peek-A-Boo," "That's All Folks!"~~~Dear Duckie: Today was your 4 month check-up. It is hard to believe that it has been 4 months already, but the changes in your growth completely make me a believer! You weighed 12 pounds 13 ounces. You were 24.5 inches long, and your head circumference was 16.2 cm. In terms of weight, you are right on track, nearly doubling your weight by the 4th month as you should.

You were happy and you cooed, gurgled, and talked with your Doctor -- and you only fussed a little after getting pricked by the shot needles.

Additionally, the day was a great day because you remained happy despite some hurtful shots (you received second doses of many plus your Tetanus). The picture of you with Mouse ears was taken shortly after you got home from your Pedatrician's. You were smiling even though you didn't feel quite well! All I can say is that you are a great kid!!!

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
