While I was putting Evelyn down tonight I started thinking about nicknames I had as a child and from who and what they meant. I was called "punkin", "Skeeter", and "princess". All of them had their special meaning with special people and to this day I am still called some of them.
How does one happen apon a nickname? We have one for Evelyn and it don't not come right away. I tried a few out before one stuck. I tried "booger", why I don't know, but Richard was not having that. I did "gorgeous" and "beautiful" for a while but they were not personal enough. Then one day out of nowhere I started calling her "love bug" and it has stuck. I love it. She is cute as a bug "lady bug" and we love her to death. So "love bug" it was and Richard even liked this one. So we have been calling her "love bug" for a few months now and it seems to fit her well, but what a process it was to get that special name.
Then, this past weekend we were shopping and what do we come across but a onesie that says of all things, "LOVE BUG". I just had to get it even though it was probably too much for one onesie, but how often do you find the something that is exactly what you secretly call your baby? It is the cuteset thing and I cannot wait for her to wear it. Once she does I will put pictures up so all can see.
