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 IS Remarkable...

Dear Little Him,

Today we had a very long day at Lakeview Hospital in Bountiful, Utah because Daddy had to have a surgery on the left tendon sheath of his carpi-ulnar bone. They cut open the tendon, drained it, cauterized it and then filed down the bone.

We were in the Same Day Surgery section of the Hospital and had our own smallish room. You were soo wonderful despite being taken off of your routine and getting bored (Mommie had only planned for a couple of hours and we were there from noon until 6pm, leaving our home in Tooele at 10 am so although you had a good amount of things to occupy our time, it wasn't enough to cover the extent of time we were at the Hospital).

While there, we played with the toys brought from home, explored the gift shop, the two fish tanks, rode up and down the elevator and ran down a long expanse of hall way. Dr. Hess (Daddy's Surgeon) got down on the floor and played trains with you for a bit. You had a 1/4 section of chocolate dougnut, and an apple that the volunteers gave you.

You only got cranky when you wanted to explore and Mommie brought you back to Daddy's room, but your cranky moment was not a melt-down or tantrum.

I am so very, very proud of you for adapting to an odd situation. You were sooo cute Daddy's Nurse even gave you a Dinosaur puzzle!

I hope you always find ways to use your energy and imagination to make your days as pleasant as possible.

Love Forever and X Infinity,

Mommie.
