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!

Remington's First Halloween



Remington: October 31, 2010...your first Halloween was so much fun! You are such a social butterfly that we didn't make it to every stop we had planned, but you played and had soo much fun with Uncle Jeff and Aunt Cheryl. The day was sunny and bright just like you! When we arrived at your Godparent's home they set up a baby swing for you outside on the play-yard they've been making. The swing was an orange race car with the Home Depot numbers that Tony Stewart drives. You giggled and laughed until you fell asleep on the rope of the swing. You LOVE to go high and fast, such a dare-devil you are!

Mommie thought your Little Lion costume would be HUGE on you. It looked so big on the hanger. I truly thought it would be a costume that you could wear until you were 3 years old! I guess I am in denial that you are growing...you now weigh 19 and a half pounds and are getting long. I was SHOCKED when the legs of the costume were short on you. The costume size was 6 to 12 months! In any case, you "worked" the costume and looked darling!

The reason we chose a Lion costume is because you just ADORE your Dad and he is a "LEO," or Lion according to his astrological sign.

Besides being a Lion for Halloween, you fully cut your first tooth! Daddy joked that it was something special for your "fang" to come through on the day you dressed as a Lion (and on Mommie's favorite Holiday).

I can't convey how excited I am to experience life, holiday's, and daily adventure's with you. You give me so much joy...I am delighted by every reaction you have; by every expression; by all that you try. I am so honored to be one of your parents. Thank you, thank you, thank you for choosing me and Dad. We adore and love you so very, very much.

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
