Terms of Endearment


By now, you will recognize the nickname “L’il G” for our Gwendolyn. Fact is, we’ve come up with many terms of endearment for our precious babe:

  • Bright Eyes (for those lovely times when she’s wide-eyed and alert)
  • Grouchy Pants (for those not so lovely times when she’s scrunch-faced and yowling)
  • Sweet Cheeks (both the top and bottom versions)
  • Farty McStinkerson (or Stinky McFarterson; no explanation needed, we reckon)
  • Broccoli Bum (see above entry)
  • Little Cabbage (also related to above; do we see a theme emerging here?)
  • Slow Leak (to describe a strange little sound Gwen makes when sleeping, like a bike tire with a teensy hole in it)
  • Pterodactyl, or "Terry" for short (to describe another strange sound Gwen makes in sleep; think Jurassic Park, but much quieter. Her cousin Jack would love this one…)
  • The Piddler (ANOTHER wet diaper?!?)
  • Nature Girl (for those free and easy times between diaper changes)

We’re sure this list will grow as time passes and Gwendolyn continues to fascinate us with her baby antics.
