When my first kid, Ryan, was born, his nickname "Cryin' Ryan" came about pretty organically.
So did his other titles:
- Pee-Baby (which later became Pee-toddler)
- Little Baby Poo Hands
- Psycho
- Rhyner or Rhyney
- Terror Child
and (to throw in a nice name....) Cuddle-bear
My new baby, Tyler, needs a few nicknames too, since I only use their given names in public or when they are in BIG trouble.
We were at the Santa Barbara zoo last week and came across the exotic Titi monkey of South America.
Titty Monkey is actually a pretty accurate description of baby Tyler. He looks monkey-ish and he loves titties.
I have also considered calling him:
- Play-dough factory
- Soft Serve
Both names in reference to his bowel habits.
Also:
- Old man baby
- Piss-face
Tyler has peed in his own face more times than I care to count.
One time he filled up his eye sockets with pee while I was changing his diaper. There were actual puddles. His eyes were squeezed closed. He also got some urine in his mouth.
I had to hurry and turn him over so I could pour the pee out of all his face holes.
Too bad I already used the name Pee-Baby with Ryan.
- #2
Jared and I have been calling Ryan, #1 and baby Tyler, #2, so we can talk about them when they're annoying and Ryan won't know who we trash-talking.
#2 has a nice ring to it.
I'll go with that for now.

L&D Nurse Gifts
I packed my hospital bags a few weeks before my March 14th due date, because in my mind, baby #2 was coming early whether he wanted to or not.
All the lists I looked at online suggested I bring gifts for the labor and delivery nurses.
This is a
Nurses are the nicest people in the world ever (next to my mom).
When I had Cryin' Ryan, the Labor and Delivery Nurses were awesome and I was so grateful they were there to help.
Jared bought them multiple rounds of Starbucks over the 4 days we spent recovering.
Pre-packing a gift for them is genius.
As expected, the L&D nurses for baby #2 were freaking superheroes.
They were also surprised and stoked about the little presents.
It seemed like a fair trade..... deal with my nasty bodily fluids, unabashed nakedness, and crying...... then I will give you a travel size lotion and hand sanitizer.
Fair trade indeed.

Meet Tyler
Two very important things happened simultaneously this past week:
1. I had baby #2.
2. I'M NOT PREGNANT ANYMORE!!!!!
Meet Tyler Henry Scott
Here are the usual stats that no one cares about:
- Born: March 5, 2014
- 6.14 lbs.
- 19 1/2 inches
- Cuter than a kitten in a boot
I already love him more than I love my kitchen sink. He is so tiny and cute, I can barely take it.
Jared and Ryan are in love with him too.
I seriously forgot how much fun having a newborn is. I also forgot how much fun not being pregnant is.
