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!

The Monster in the Mirror....






The Monster In The Mirror -- a song sung by Grover of the Sesame Street Muppets --

"Grover: Saw a monster in my mirror when I woke today
A monster in my mirror, but I did not run away.
I did not shed a tear or hide beneath my bed,
Though the monster looked at me and this is what he said:
He said, "Wubba, wubba, wubba, wubba, woo woo woo
Wubba, wubba, wubba, and a doodly-doo."

He sang, "Wubba, wubba, wubba", so I sang it too:
"Do not wubba me, or I will wubba you."

Monsters: Do not wubba me, or I will wubba you.

Grover: Told the monster in the mirror, "No, I am not scared."
Then I smiled at him and thanked him for the song that we had shared
Well, the monster thanked me too, he smiled right back and then
The monster in the mirror sang this song again:

He went "Wubba, wubba, wubba" and I sang along
'Cause "Wubba, wubba, wubba" is a monster song.

Monsters: Wubba, wubba, wubba is a monster song.


Grover: He sang "Wubba, wubba, wubba" and I sang along
'Cause "Wubba, wubba, wubba" is a monster song.

Monsters: Wubba, wubba, wubba is a monster song.

Grover: If your mirror has a monster in it, do not shout
This kind of situation does not call for freaking out
And do nothing that you would not like to see him do
'Cause that monster in the mirror, he just might be you!


"Wubba, wubba, wubba", you can join in too
Yes, if you wubba me then I will wubba you.

Monsters: If you wubba me then I will wubba you.

Grover: Going "Wubba, wubba, wubba" is the thing to do.

Grover and monsters: Every time you wubba us, we wubba you.

Unidentified monster: (spoken) Me wubba you."

Performed by Frank Oz (the voice of Grover). Song written by Jim Henson, et al.

Little Him, you and I are currently obsessed with the song above! We just LOVE it!!! Since Halloween is when the monsters, ghosts, witches, vampires, and ghouls come out I thought it was appropriate to post the song and dress you up in your Halloween shirt that says: "Daddy's little monster." You are not a monster at all, but a wonderful, fun, curious, vivacious boy. You are a dare-devil! You like to hang upside down off the couch. I don't know what I will do when you are walking and moving without my assistance because when you hang off the couch I get a mini heart-attack...nonetheless, your fearlessness teaches me that one should face the world at large "head on." Despite my fear(s), I am sure I will need to be prepared for cuts, scratches and scrapes, but since you are still my 6 Month old, I am not bracing myself just yet.

Out of all of the photos in this series, my favorite is the one where you are sticking out your tongue -- it seems that you are defying danger...giving raspberries as if to say "So what if I AM Daddy's little monster?" I just love that you are confidant like that!!!

Son, you are truly a delight and you definitly light up my life!

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
