Sweet Peach
Our little sweet peach fancy pants.
I love how nicknames tend to take on a life of their own. Peach. Sweet peach. Fancy pants. And then of course you have to string some of them all together. So many different terms of endearment - some stick and some fade over time (thankfully).
I am pretty sure I captured some of Simon's nicknames ("Simon-bug" & "bugga bugga" were early favorites) but would need to go back through his albums to see how many I really documented. Those are the little things that we lose way too quickly if they don't get written down.
Anna's doing great. She's gaining weight (almost 7 pounds now) and being awake a bit more. I am feeling better and more confident in general. Finding my way once again through the maze that is baby-ness.
My sister-in-law Liz was here this past weekend. There is nothing quite like having very helpful people around - especially ones who are excellent cooks and who have a special way with infants. Liz is amazing. We love her and are so glad she was able to visit.
I think I finally decided on a direction to take on a 12x12 scrapbook for Anna. I am working on and documenting in the "Reflections" book but am starting to envision what will go into her first larger album. I'll share more on that in the coming weeks as it begins to come together.

She is absolutely adorable. Thanks for sharing with us. I'm sure this is the first of many wonderful nicknames to come.
Take care.

Her nicknames fit her perfectly! Glad you are feeling well-this can be a rough time for every Mom so glad that you are getting help. Your ideas are making me think about going back to the old baby photos of my kids. I don't have many, so it should be pretty easy to choose from the ones that I do have! Happy Monday!

Those "little" names are precious. Our Jenny was "sweet cheeks" and Erin "Erin-Toes". Erin will be 29 in June and to her close friends she is still "Toes". She would hear her name and giggle.

Don't repeat this, but my now-21-year-old son was "Pooter" (no reference to things that come out the back end!), and my youngest son was "Schmoopie." How do we come up with these things?!!!

My mom calls my daughter Peaches. Has for years. It's a cute nickname that at 11 she doesn't seem to mind!

Oh, so sweet!! That is the best picture. I can almost smell that wonderful baby smell! LOL I just LOVE snuggly, cuddly, squishy newborns. Our granddaughters just didn't stay in that stage long. They were both in such a hurry to be up and about, exploring the big world. That's not a bad thing--just doesn't allow much time to enjoy them as infants. I don't remember my own children being in nearly as big a hurry to become explorers. Enjoy!!

It's amazing how big she has gotten in such a short period of time. So adorable.
My husband is a great inventor of nicknames and to this day many of them have "stuck" to my kids (they are in college). The nicknames always "keep them as mine, my babies" no matter how old they get. I just love that!
