nickname me



This kid needs a nickname. Here are some of the ones I've considered.

Stinky-The kid is nearly always stinky. (I think it's a boy thing.) Initially this was because he pooped a lot. Now he farts all the time, and they are seriously stinky and noisy. Often his noisy farting attracts the attention of people at church who turn around and look and laugh. Sometimes I think for sure he has a dirty diaper, but when I change him, nope, just stinky!

Snort/Snuffly-He seems to always be stuffy. I thought for a while that he just couldn't get over his cold, but I think he is just a stuffy nose kind of kid. Sometimes when he gets really excited, he snorts due to his stuffiness. It's pretty funny.

Sleepy-The kid sleeps-all the time. In fact, a friend who sees him fairly frequently told me today that she doesn't think she has ever seen him awake. He dozes off all the time. Give him a minute or two in the stroller, and he's out in a flash! If he can keep the binky in his mouth for more than five minutes, he's asleep. I'm hoping this trend continues.

Chunk-He seems really big to me. By his first doctors appointment at one week, he had returned to his birth weight (which is something they hope for by two weeks). He gained a pound a week for the following three weeks. He's probably nearly double his birth weight by now at nearly three months. He's an eater!

Z-I would hope this one is self explanatory.

Let me know what you think. You can vote in my poll on the side. (I've been wanting to do a poll for months but couldn't think of anything to poll about. Now is my chance!) In all fairness, I know some of you have never met the child, so if you would like to reserve your vote until you meet him when we're in Utah, go ahead. Or you can vote once now and once after you've met him.

Lily was the farting queen as an infant--she seems to have grown out of it quite a bit, but she still has some rather rank days.

I like the "Zek"
