Week 40 - What's in a name?
(5/16/10 - 5/22/10)


When Andrew was born I didn't have any nicknames preset for him. I figured we would let the names come as they may. Well, they didn't really come.....now we had nicknames for him but they tended to be the same names that we called Jacob. Poor Andrew was being given hand-me-down nicknames!!! How HORRIBLE!!

But as Andrew grew, his little idiosyncrasies started showing themselves and nicknames started coming out. Now I am a little embarrassed by some of the name because since he is a 26 pound, 31 inch long giant baby most of his nicknames revolve around that! But don't be fooled these nicknames are given out of pure love and joy for my little "Chunker Nutter!"

We have of course:
Chunker Nutter - Kinda like a nutter butter cookie but sweeter and more kissable!
Sweet potato - hand me down name, but still applies to Andrew! He is a sweetie!
Fuzzy - puhleez...just look at his hair!
Chunka-chunk - I know I feel bad, but he is just so squeezable! And thoughs THIGHS!!!
Tater nugget - Don't ask me, just came out one day!

Unfortunately that is all so far, most are hand-me-downs! My gosh I feel so bad I am going on a mission to get Andrew a new nickname!!!!! Any suggestions??

We spent this week "Almost" crawling again, twice he took two steps but the fell to his belly. He has also decided that he LOVES to stand up. He obviously can't stand holding on by himself yet but as long as you are helping him he would stand on your lap, at the coffee table, on the chair, etc.... as long as he is standing he is happy! Andrew also ate eggs this week, tried salmon, and will pretty much eat anything he can get his hands on. We have started trying to teach him to use a straw this week too since he doesn't drink out of a bottle (just chews it). I figure if I want any date nights I need some way to get him something to drink!!
