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!

10 Months -- Furniture Walking and Pitching, and Diving...






Pictures Bottom to Top: "Furniture Walking," "Walking Round the Table," "Readin' Up," "Little Tornado." ~~~Reme, you are so much fun I can't stand it!!! You make me laugh and smile countless times each day. I love that you are an adventurer and "explore" (i.e. get into everything)! I try to let you discover as much as possible with litter intervention unless it would be something unsafe because I don't want to stave your curiosity. Watching you at play, I know that you have the right demeanor to accomplish anything you desire. Mommie will do everything I can so that you can meet all of your dreams.

Love Forever and X Infinity,

Mommie.

Trying New Things...







Remington: You really wanted to eat like Mommie and Daddy, so we started you on some soft foods. For this meal your menu was macaroni salad, avocado, and kiwi fruit. You were 10 months old when the pictures were taken.

Love Forever and X Infinity,

Mommie.

Pictures Bottom to Top: "First Pancake & Egg Breakfast," "Lovin' It," "Yum-Yum!"~~~These were all activities during your 10th month.

Snow Suit for a Grand Snow Day (12-30-2010)...




Dear Reme: So many people have supported and loved you, even from the time you were growing in Mommie's tummy. One of my friend's, Stephanie, has been one of those special individuals and a loving part of your life from before she first felt you kick! She got you this adorable snow suit because she knows of Mommie's passion for Winter and Skiing. The first day you wore it was at the end of December. You and I were playing in the snow while watching Daddy shovel the driveway and walks. You didn't quite know what to make of all of that powdery soft stuff! What an adventure! Although I am not quite certain you love the snow, I hope you will grow to love it someday.

Love Forever and X Infinity,

Mommie.

Reme: These photos were taken during snack time on December 26, 2010. You are such a happy kid! I adore that quality in you. Mommie thinks you are the bestest little boy anyone could ever have, and I can't resist taking your picture when you are so darned cute.

Love Forever and X Infinity,

Mommie.

Remington Christmas Morning...







Son, I love these pictures, especially the picture of you with your hands in the air. You were soooo excited and happy. You had tons of energy and joy that it affected Mommie and Daddy in the most wonderful of ways. Our first Christmas together was amazing. We all had fun, practiced traditions, ate an amazing family meal, and enjoyed each others time and company. There was much love in our home and it was felt deeply.

Love Forever and X Infinity,

Mommie.

Baby's First Ornament...

 



Remington: This picture was taken early Christmas morning after Santa had been at our house. It is of an ornament given to you by Mommie's friend, Glenda Bushnell. The ornament is a Snowman Snow Globe. It plays music and when it is turned on, the snowfall is highlighted by different colors. Snow globes are one of my favorite treasures, I just love them because they always seem to epict peace and serenity. No matter what the holiday that a snow globe represents, I am always reminded: "peace on Earth and good will toward Men" when I see one. I decided to capture the changing colors because I thought the change in colors and light was symbolic for the change and light one always seems to feel and see at Christmas time. It inspired me to try to act with kindness as much as I can and to try to do the right thing as often as I can...I hope I can share this ideology with you.

Love Forever and X Infinity,

Mommie.

Christmas Morning 2-25-2010







Remington: These are photos that Daddy and I took Christmas morning after Santa Claus had been to our home. You have been such an amazing and good little boy. I feel so lucky that you are a part of our family. I know I say that a lot, but you mean more than life itself to me. I hope that the magic that Mommie feels towards Christmas can always touch your life.

Love Forever and X Infinity,

Mommie.
