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!

First Road Trip: Burley, Idaho or Bust!






Pictures Bottom to Top: "Reme in Car Seat Going Towards Idaho," "Mommie and Reme as we enter Idaho," "Daddy and Reme at the Idaho Sign," "Reme's First Pool Adventure."~~~Dear Reme, on October 3, 2010, you experienced your very first road-trip and your first pool adventure! You, Daddy, and Mommie went to visit your Sister's and your Niece's. We all met in Burley, Idaho at Perkins restaurant to catch up. You were a gem! You tolerated the 3 hour drive very well, only getting fussy for about 5 minutes because you were in need of a nap. At Perkins you had a hearty appetite and ate your lunch in its entirety (squash and green beans). After lunch, we decided to play in the pool at the hotel. You enjoyed the water until the motions and bobbing started to lull you to sleep...after which, you curled up with Mom and took a nap while your Niece's played and splashed. The pool was one of the highlights of our visit....

You have very wonderful and special Sister's in Collette and Jackie; and, I hope that you will talk to them and listen to what they have to say as they guide you on your life path. They are very wise and have done everything right to ensure that their lives have focus and balance. I feel you can learn from their wisdom -- gain an understanding of how to "live your best life."

Reme, your journey on this Earth is special and you have the power to make your life amazing. Have faith and confidence that you have many who love you and will help you reach your goals....

Stephanie and Aryana, your Niece's, are vibrant, passionate, wonderful girls...I know you and they will always have fun and laughter, brilliance in every form; and, I hope the three of you, despite your age differences, will always have playful spirits with a zest for life. The energy that the three of you have when you are together is pure magic!!!

October 3, 2010 was a day of merriment! I am soo glad you got to experience this day. There is nothing better than carousing with those you love.

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
