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!

You Are Wonderful!

Dear Remington, there are so many characteristics that you display that totally amaze me! You really like to figure things out and constantly are determining the cause and effects of all of the different gadgets in our world. The pictures above depict this.

Also, you are very clever in figuring out how something works; and, you are persistent and determined in learning all you can. You will often find a stool or something to stand on to get to the things that interest you, much to Mommie's chagrin.

Some of the other neat things you are doing at 21 months of age are: counting on your own to from 1 to 5, developing favorites -- your favorite stuffed animal is Roop-A-Doop (a stuffed Tiger), your favorite letter is "W," your favorite color is "Purple," and your favorite things to play are "yo-yo" (play-dough), "chugga-chugga" (with your Thomas train figurines or your wooden train set), and with your Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head's.

You LOVE to run,run,run and bounce, bounce, bounce. You adore Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and are starting to wane on your interest in Elmo.

You can say the alphabet with encouragement...

You like to help Daddy cook breakfast on Sunday's and you enjoy helping Mommie wash dishes.

One of your favorite times right now is bath time...you try to climb in the bath-tub all by yourself, so Dad and I are on our toes to keep you safe...

You are becoming so, so independent and so much fun! You prefer to get yourself to sleep instead of being cuddled with...and your interest in the world and being so independent means that often you don't eat much. Lately, for me and Dad to get you to eat we have to both clap after each bite of your meal. This is cute and fun to watch as we will clap and say "yeah" and then you clap and say "yeah!"

You mimic everything that is said...

I adore you soo much and feel so blessed that you are my Son. You are everything I dreamed and hoped for and much, much more. You bring verve not only to me and Dad, but to all who meet you.

You are VERY social, saying "Hi!" to all passersby in the grocery store.

You are imaginative!

I hope these qualities will help you meet wonderful people and encounter many great adventures.

I hope you always have zest and wonder -- a liveliness for life, and continue with the inner joy and radiance that you readily share.

I love you deeply and completely, my darling Son...

Love Forever and X Infinity,

Mommie.
