10 days old

Life with a 10 day old son is just about the most exciting adventure one could hope for. There are of course the diapers and midnight feedings which one would naturally expected (though how hard it is to get myself awake in the morning is something I had to experience to truly understand). What I did not anticipate was the volume of nicknames that seem to flow quite naturally from both mom and dad. Here is a sampling of the names the wife and I have been using to comfort and engage our boy.

• Jamesy
  
• Bug-A-Boo
• Bugs
• Snuggle Bug
• Snugs
• Sugar Baby
• Shugs
• Monkey
• Squirt
  

More to come I am sure.
