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'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.

I just don't know how you are keeping this up? So amazing. My boy is over 2 years old now, and I only have one completed page in his scrapbook.

So, so sweet!! Glad to hear you're both doing well, and that you're enjoying the new family dynamic! A second child definitely changes that, but in a wonderful way...it's a beautiful adventure. I'm excited to see how you (continue to) document it!

I have just recently finished a page for our little Alice who is 3 months old, documenting all the names she already has - Possum Pants, Vladimir Cutin, Alisaurus Rex, Grizlor and the Bubsinator are some that have stuck already! Fun times :)

Thank you for that reminder-my little man is growing up so fast that he is totally outgrowing the "Olliebug" and "Olliebear" nicknames! Ok, maybe not the Bear one! Your little note this morning totally made me take a different look on my day today. It started off rushed and kinda grumpy. Then, I remembered how fast it will be until I don't have to wrestle my toddler into his coat; he'll be putting it on himself not needing his mama anymore. Savor these days, all of us!

What a cute baby! Glad you are all doing well. Take your time getting back to it all. A baby takes your life and turns it upside down...but it the most amazing way! thanks for continue to share with us! We called my first one "Baby" and even at 4 1/2 years old he answers to me calling him Baby! My second son (now 2) was deemed "fussy-butt" due to colic. There was even a song that went with the name. Of course that song was made up at 3 am! But we still sing it today. take care!

oh how cute she is...and is she really growing that fast...what fun you must be having with her!
we are the family of nick-names...and yes we did choose each of our children's names that each could have many names to be called...but we tend to call them all "the raggles" (lol)
