Thanks... a lot

So, I've been wanting to put together some thank you cards for the family and friends who have been sending love and gifts this way since the pregnancy. I thought that I could take a nice photo of Boojnoupe, put some text over top, print a bunch, and write personalised messages on the back.
Simple enough.

No.

Boojnoupe screams if she is put down for more than three minutes thanks to being constantly held and passed from person to person for the first month of her life. So, I knew I would need to be quick.
I'm now pretty sure she knows what's going on when I get my good camera out as she goes from "Happy as Larry" to "My entire existence is pain!" within minutes of setting up.

What's in a name?

Everyone seems to have a name for their baby that doesn't sound anything like the baby's real name.
I never understood it until now.

I lie.
I still don't understand it.

Here are the names I call my little person:

Boojnoupe (booj-nu)
Boupanoupa (boop-a-noopa)
Boonoux (boo-nu)
Poopadoupe (poop-a-doop)
Grumples
Grumpalots
Grumplestiltskin (grumple-stilt-skin)

I will probably refer to her as one of these names through out this blog.


What weird names do you call your bebee?
