Well, we have an absolutely irresistible bundle of boy. I keep drafting a post to tell the story of how it all happened, every last detail. I feel some trepidation because as much as this is our story it is also our baby's story and some of it should be his to tell. I am in a bit of a quandary as to what to do. I want to share because it is the most remarkable story as well as a story of a successful adoption, but I want to honor my son because this blog will be for him someday too. Any suggestions? I'd love to hear them.
In the meantime I thought I would share all the pet names that seem to befall our dear baby. Everyday he gets cuter and more delicious.
Some of the usuals that you hear lots of people use. Sweet pea, love bug, snuggle bug. I call him my little nugget, nugget of love, snuggle buggle, pie face, sweetie boy, love nugget, Levi love. My favorite is truffle, because he is like a yummy melty chocolate treat filled with gooey goodness but also in the more fungal meaning: highly valued and difficult to find (both true), therefore a true prize (he is a prize all right) when found. He often reminds us of the seeker as well as the seekee in a traditional truffle hunting situation. We are enchanted by his snorts and chordles as our little piggy starts to tell us he is hungry. I call him piglet and hungry caterpillar. Steven says he is Hungarian, which should be spelled Hungrian.
He is my First prize, the nickname my mom gave me as a baby--being her first child and all.
More: muffin, cupcake, dumpling. He is my sweetness. My joy. My pudding. ( I know I am forgetting some...a bunch) I love him, I love him, I love him. Sometimes his wondeful-ness just makes me cry.
Oh, so cute. Me thinks you are besotted. :)
