How do you come up with your child's nickname?

Taylor has always been called an angel. My dad started it the minute she was born and it's stuck. I called her peanut because she was so small she just looked like a little peanut, especially compared to all the other kids my friends were having (they were huge!) Angel stuck and occasionally I still call her peanut, but for the most part, that nickname is no more.

Callee, on the other hand, my dad has always called her a queen. Again, I'm not sure why he just does. I have always called her a monkey. When she was born, she had all this wild and crazy dark hair that was everywhere, with big eyes, a beady little nose and because she was a preemie, she never had a chance to lose all her body hair in the womb. She pretty much looked like this:

Okay, maybe not that much hair, but you get the point. The older she gets, the more deserving of that monkey nickname she is. She climbed before she walked and now, if you are holding her and she doesn't want put down, she just wraps her little monkey legs around your waist and holds on for dear life. Her toes curl to hold on to things and help her gain balance like monkey's do and the list goes on and on. So for anyone wondering, that is how Callee became known as a monkey and for a while there it was a chunky monkey!

I am having problems uploading more than one photo in an hour so when I get done uploading all the photos of Taylor's room, I'll post that too. Hopefully it will be today.
