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!

Say Whaaaat?

Remington-- you said your first word today! Actually you said it 4 days ago but Daddy and I thought it was a fluke. Today, there was no doubt about it....your first word: "da-da" ! You held up your arms to Daddy looked him in the eye and said: "da-da". I am so amazed at what you have been able to do in your 5th month of life...going from babble to a word, helping yourself eat (in fact, you refuse to take a bite of ANYTHING unless your little hands are grasped around the spoon helping Mommmie feed you). You still don't like to be on your stomach, but you will tolerate it for longer periods of time, even turning from your back to your side. Last night, when Mommie checked on you, you were sleeping on your left side. WOW!! Every day is truly an adventure. Dad and I are soo blessed to have you in our family. We love you dearly!

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie
