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!

Train Expo featuring Thomas the Tank Engine..








Dear Remington,

You and Daddy had such a fun adventure on this day in February (2-4-12 to be exact). You and he went to the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy, Utah to see all the neat trains at the train expo. You were sooo excited, you even kept your warm Thomas hat on your head since it was a pretty cold day. Don't you love how Mommie coordinated your hat with your scarf? I just wanted you to be GQ (Gentleman's Quarterly) chic! You even took Salty (one of Thomas' friends) with you to the train show! Dad said there was so much to see and although you and he arrived at the opening of the show, it was crowded with a multitude of train enthusiasts. You were able to watch a lot of trains as they whirred and chugged around their tracks, and you were so happy to be around so many trains, the only disappointing facet of your visit was that you were not tall enough to ride on the Thomas train ride. You loved this event with all of its gizmos, noise, bells, and whistles, that when it was time to leave, Daddy had to buy you a train set so you would not have a tantrum (yes, at this point in your life your parental figures are not above bribery, laugh-out-loud).

We love you and your "obsessions." May you always find trains fascinating and fun and; may you always have healthy obsessions!

Love Forever and X Infinity,

Mommie.
