~The Duckie Chronicles~: February 2011

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!

Christmas Eve, 2010

Pictures Bottom to Top: Racing to Get Seated Before the Automatic Timer Goes Off, The Triple R's: Ron, Rachel, and Remington~~~Remington: One Christmas tradition we have is to wear matching pajamas which we open on Christmas Eve.This was a tradition that both Dad and I had as children and want to practice with you. However, this Christmas, Mommie hid the pajamas so well I couldn't find them so you were the only one in Christmas jammies!

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.

Our Family @ Christmas, 2010...

Mommie.

The Koehler Family Christmas Party...

Pictures Bottom to Top: You with Cousin Alex, Grandma Koehler and Reme, Dad and Reme, Opening Presents, Tootsies~~Remington: I hope you always know you have an amazing family that you can count on. These photos were taken at the 2010 Family Christmas party, hosted by Uncle G.J. and Aunt Jaci. Mommie loves vintage clothing so you were wearing a 1950's vintage Christmas jump-suit. This was the first time you ever wore it and you had almost outgrown it! I loved that Grandma put on a matching beanie (from Ireland, which is part of your heritage).

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.

Dear Little Him: These two photographs of you and your Dad warm my heart. May you always know the love that Dad and I have for you. May you always have comfort when you need it most.

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
