Fun Facts on Fred

Fred has a best friend, we call it the halogen light in our living room. It cracks us up how entranced he is by it - he'll stop doing whatever it is he is doing, cooing, fussing, feeding, pooping, if he catches a glimpse of the light. The best is when he tries to focus and goes cross eyed. We also have a large assortment of nicknames for our little boy, for instance: Frederick the Mouse when he squeaks and whimpers while feeding or dreaming, Fred the Bear when he tries to feed in the most ferocious manner and both mom and dad worry for mom's bodily safety, Frederico when we are feeling international, Fredikins when he looks like a mischevious elf like creature, Squirmy which was his prenatal name but now used as he wriggles around avoiding diaper changes or at bed time when he comes alive to play, Frediccuni when he is getting close to sleep or is asleep and goes limp like a noodle, and of course Freddie or Freddy? We can't decide on this spelling and the family seems to be split. I think we shall have a caucus to decide.
