Lead Baby

I was going through my cabinet under the kitchen island, and mashed amoung the pots & pans was the card to the place where Yuri & I were engaged.

It gave me chills.

Very cool to find the early connections to our little man.

Clunky -- as in baby clunked him self That's our way of saying he got banged up running into a wall or something like that.

Bean This one has been around for a while!

Dirt Ball (when Yuri first hear me say this, he misheard it & was calling him dirty ball for a couple days)

Like I said in the previous post - I'm sure there are others - and I think we come up with a new one every couple days - new skills get new names!

I once heard a story about how a pet is more thought of as part of the family the more names or nicknames it has, and on the other side of the coin the fewer or even no names, the less of a role that pet plays in that family.

Victor is for sure a member of our family & of course has many, many names. Before we forget any of them, I thought I'd share a few. (if you've heard us call him another, please post a comment!)

Captain Distro-pants
Climber
Sir Poopy pants
Poops
Stinky
Schet (which is a Russian pet name - exact meaning? - exact spelling?)
Bubbie
Little man
Boob-sucker
Mother-sucker
Trouble
Trouble maker
Littles
Smiles
Farter (how did he get that one anyway?)
Sweetness
Love bug
Wireman

That's all I can think of right now, I'm sure there are others. Some pet names stick & others pass w/out a second thought. Even those that poke fun, are said with a smile, with love and with laughter.
