My nephew and I share the same birthday and we were hoping she would arrive on that day, but she just missed it. It'll be fun having a girl Pisces in the family. My sister loathes me and my nephew, so maybe we can recruit Baby E as an ally.
I always love how wise babies look... Or maybe like Charles Bronson.
I've been calling her Minnow Pea for months and no one has gotten it. I guess it's not that funny. But I'll probably call her that the rest of her life, poor thing. Or maybe I'll call her The Ella G Show. Here is a list of nicknames I called my nephews:
Lobs
Lobster Tail
Tail of the Lobster That Bit Me
Chief Hair-in-the-Face
Doughfus
Chief Spotted Foot
J'Ray
Dotsch
Mymy
Blotch
It's not as harrowing as it sounds. If you start calling them weird things when they're young, they just accept it as part of life and don't give it a second thought. It also gives them a rationale for understanding why their mother hates their uncle. I'm not sure what the motivation there is. I'd like to think she's jealous that she didn't come up with such great nicknames, but I'm sure it's much more deep-seated than that.

She's a beaut! Congratulations.
Yup, looks like a keeper. (If they decide not to keep her they can always call Angelina and Brad.) I saddled my Offspring with a variety of silly names when he was a wee bit. Now, to borrow a Bill Cosby joke, he just answers to "Dammit."
Love the name! Hard to believe your Nephew is a daddy. When will he next visit? I want to hold the baby.
As for nicknames, my brother gave us these two keepers for the boys: Mad Dog and Crash. Later, Crash became Stitchy and his cousin became Twitchy. So apt.
Wow, she's gorgeous, even more so with the cap.
It's pretty nice being a great uncle, huh? I became a great aunt of a new baby girl just yesterday and it made me smile. Congratulations. - Is her dad the one I met in Boston some years back?
