What's My Name?

Ellie is getting really good at responding to her name. We call her a million different things, and rarely is it ever "Elizabeth." Which brings up Tim's concern that she will never know what her name really is, what with all the nicknames we have for her. Here is a (partial) list of the things we call our daughter:

  • Ellie - most common of the nicknames
  • Ellie Belly - a holdover from what we referred to my stomach as when I was pregnant
  • Belle - derived from the one above, most often used by Mommy
  • Boo - Daddy's name for her
  • Ellieroo, Bellyroo - hence the blog URL
  • Elzie Bellzie - not quite sure how this one should be spelled, so I spelled it how it sounds
  • Punkin Head, Punkin, and Punky - most often used by Mommy
  • Sweet Pea - usually called this when we are feeding her (you guessed it) sweet peas

Here is a new picture of our Punkin Head doing tummy time, with the help of a bolster pillow to get her tummy up off of the floor so she can pull her knees under her. Her collar is a disaster because I let her eat lunch without a bib (which drives Tim crazy).
