The girl with many names

I've recently realized that Inara may have a hard time learning her name considering all the different nicknames she has already. Before she was born, I started calling her Baby Girl and Sweet Pea. I still use both names quite often. She has also picked up the name Squeekers because she squeeks more than she cries, which is actually pretty cute. She's earned the name Squirmy Wormy because the kid is always moving about. Often times, Inara has only one eye open, so we've started calling her Popeye during those times. I also call her Bright Eyes and Blue Eyed Baby Girl when she's all wide eyed and looking around. When I say these names, they are usually in a sing-songy mode. (This is a new thing I've picked up lately and have created several songs I sing to Inara, particularly when she's fussy.) My mom calls Inara "my angel," my brother calls her Inie, and my dad, who is infamous for making up crazy names, now calls her Pahrumpa. (He calls Kylie Sharumpa. Don't ask where he came up with these names. That's just Pop being creative.) I figure I better start calling her Inara more so she starts learning her real name.

If you noticed today I kept calling her INARA and not Inie. I figured when she's older I can call her Inie, but for now INARA it is. I love you two! Well and Shawn too.
