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.
[ Organic Crocheted Booties from She Knits by Amy. Pink monkey pants from Skoon. Onsie from Petit Bateau. Crib sheet from Land of Nod. ]
Two weeks old and already working on her first album. What a good mom you are!

funny, mine growing up was wrongway peachfuzz & we definitely still laugh about that one. the best was how my toddler daughter made up nicknames for my son. my favorite was Peter penguinhead, but i do have a list to scrap - her made up ones are the most fleeting.

It's amazing our kids ever learned their names, considering how much we used nicknames, especially with the girls! My husband definitely never uses real names ... I can probably count on my two hands how many times he's even said MY name to me! But it's fun and a great thing to document. Somewhere I have a list of about 10 names for my now 2-year-old that I need to find and get scrapbooked. Thanks for the prompt!! And Anna just keeps getting cuter and cuter - the nicknames that are following her are so appropriate!

Oooooh, what a cutie! And such sweet thoughts on nicknames! Hannah without the nicknames I gave her would be like coffee without milk :)

sigh...so cute! Some days I really want those cuddley, wiggley, baby days back -- so funny, but why is it that when its in the midst of happening you just wish they would end cause you're so tired!!?!?
reading your post reminds my how much I love the internet/blogging community --- your post introduced me to four beautiful new blogs that I had never stumbled on....I love that idea of the book from Molly Irwin's site. her words resonated with me because I have pictures like that on my hard drive. saved because I love them, but just sitting there, waiting, but alone they are just beautiful pictures. how powerful to put them together and see an emerging story. I feel some serious creating coming on after reading her post....something I have been struggling with all winter.
thanks again for inspiring + have a great week with "the kids" :)

Ahhhh, I love that nickname. Man, there has been a huge baby boom with friends and family lately. This little photo of Anna is almost pushing me over the edge into a 3rd baby! So sweet!!

She is so precious! They can get such cute nicknames, so quickly too! Glad she is doing well and that you are feeling better.

My youngest daughter was nicknamed Bear before she was a month old. She is still Hallie Bear to all her friends and family and she is 24. I grew up with a big extended family and new babies came along every year. Everybody had a nickname. My aunts used to tell us that when a baby was kicking and cooing, the baby was telling you what the angels told them. When the angels kissed them before they were sent home to live, the kiss took away thier words. The baby could only speak angel and when they learned how to talk they forgot angel speak. I loved that when I was a little girl.

She's delightful...Isn't funny how the nicknames just come to you! My 15 month old son's nickname is "Bugga-Bugga", too - one of them at least. And my 2 month old daughter's nicknames are "Sweet Angel Girl" and "Mamma Mia" - since her name is Mia - it just fit! Thanks for sharing these precious moments with us... ;)

Anna is so beautiful! A picture perfect baby! I love nicknames I have them for everyone and you are right it's one of those things you lose in time so I should definitely document them!

How sweet! And blogging offers a great opportunity to "write down" some of those little things you might otherwise forget!

She's so completely lovely.
And as for nicknames... our twins were nicknamed 'peanut' and 'porkchop' by the nurses in the NICU - peanut eventually morphed into 'sweet pea' and our boy became 'little man' - why are nicknames so much fun??!!

Never thought I'd say this, but looking at your adorable sweet girl makes me want another. I've got 2 sleeping through the night now (almost four and just turned 2) and there's no way I want to do that again, but she is just SO adorable. I love pages on the nicknames. I dont think I ever did one for my dd, but I might have to go back and try to remember some of them.But for ds I did a whole page on how my dd came up with the nickname Baby Brother Tadpole. :)

What a sweet photo of Anna. What a sweetie she is. I'm so glad both you and Anna are doing well. I'm so glad it's nice to have some good help around.
I did a page with my sons nicknames. But not the early early ones when he was an infant.
I called my son Bugga Bugga as well.
Have a beautiful day Ali.
