Nicknames

• Most frequently this days, we call you Buddy (or for me, Little Buddy).  Daddy started it from Day 1 and I guess it kind of stuck.  We use it so much it has worked its way into our normal speech, like "will you take Buddy upstairs for a bath?"  I'm trying to be careful not to overuse it so that we don't stop calling you Bennett altogether.  We worked very hard on finding the perfect name for you so I want to make sure we are using it.  You can laugh at me if you're reading this in the future and we only ever call you Buddy now.
• When I was first pregnant we called you Poppy, since that's how big you were when we found out at 4 weeks. . .the size of a poppy seed.  That stopped as soon as we found out you were a boy and could start using other nicknames.
• When you were newborn a lot of people referred to you as Peanut since you were so tiny.
• When you were an infant Daddy and his family called you Little Man a lot.
• Strangers, upon seeing you, most often call you "wow! look at those blue eyes!"
• I've mentioned that I sometimes call you Raja.
• Daddy calls you Cheeseball McCrackin' when you are doing your silly grins.
• . . .and Great Grandma Edwin calls you Benton because she's kind of losing it and can't get your name right!
