Nicknames

 Do you ever find yourself giving your children ridiculous nicknames?

I sure have lately. I never thought I'd be that mom.

I wasn't too bad with Lainy. Mostly she was Lainy Girl, or Lainy Loo, or Doodle (okay, so Doodle is kinda weird).

But my little Leah just brings out the most ridiculous nicknames! Most of the time they pop out of my mouth when I go to get her out of bed. She just looks so darling smiling at me with her big brown rainbow eyes and chubby cheeks! I can't help myself.

She's been Leah Looski, Loo Loo, Looster, and my most recent favorite, Booski Boo.

Yes, you read Booski Boo.

I have no idea where it came from. It just popped out of my mouth the other day, and for some reason it has stuck.

What has gotten into me? Even Lainy has picked up on it. She's been calling her Leah Booski.

Ha ha! Poor Leah! I hope she knows it's a term of endearment.

(I promise I won't call her Booski Boo in public and embarrass us both.)

What nicknames do you find yourself giving your kids or pets? Or am I the only crazy one?

And did you know that Leah is 9 and a half months old now? She has two top teeth, she says "Dada" when she's happy, she stands up all by herself (which means she'll walk soon - watch out!), and she has the most spunky little personality that I've ever seen in a baby. We love our brown eyed baby girl!

Leah is going to grow up with the devastating memory of a nickname gone bad. (I still have not recovered from Tiffers or Tiff-tiff-eroooo). I am trying to live it up to the fullest with Kylee. She is usually called bug or buggy, but there are a few really weird ones that pop out once in awhile.

P.S. Miss you, but am excited that you made a friend!

I can't help but give my kids nicknames...as you know. David is still Dub or Dubby. I hope he doesn't mind that I still call him that when he is 18... :)
