Nine Months of Nicknames

Dane, today, is 9 months old. Since we're having a hard time coming to grips with our little baby turning into a full-on adult man (*sob*), we're going to skirt the issue of how completely grown-up he is and talk about the past nine months in a different way. Maybe after some therapy we can post about our experiences and takeaways.

For now, we'll talk about all the names we've used to address or refer to Dane. Nine months isn't that long (and this has got to be the fastest nine months has ever been!). In this short blink-of-an-eye-life of Dane's, we have called him many things. We call him "Dane Thomas", his full name, more often than we call him "Dane" or anything else. Here's some of the common nicknames Dane goes by in our home.

• Frankenstein
• Booger - in all of it's forms: Boogie, Boog, Boogs
• Mister Mister
• Mr. Hussafuss
• Monkeyfeet
• Stinky
• Mommy's Dane Tommy
• Little D
• Babyfriend - to the dogs

So, sort of a weird way to measure time; in nicknames. The past nine months has been the best of our lives and we relish the fact that we get to spend the rest of our lives calling ourselves parents to this amazing little boy. Happy 3/4 birthday, Dane Thomas.
