The birth certificate says Tristan Stone Lemieux, thought I rarely call him that. He has so many names in fact they are hard to keep track of. So I have started a list.
- Tristan
- Tris
- Tugs
- Baby Tugs
- Tug a rug
- Tug a bug
- Tuggy
- Bug-I-Ly Tug-I-ly
- baby boy
- bibitte (french for little bug)
- buggy
- buggy boy
- handsome
- handsome pants
- silly pants
- sassy pants
- pants
- big boy
- handsome boy
- poudas (pronounced pooh-duh-ce)
- poodle
- pooh bear
- poodley poo
- smiles
- snuggles
- snugly tugly
- snu-a-ly tug-a-ly
- teezy beezy
- little man
- little guy
- little bastard (don’t worry, only behind his back)
- little terror (also not to his face)
- Funny face
- the face (or simply face)
- T-Stone
- T-stone and the special sauce
- Big lip (often phrased as: “who’s the big lip” in a cute baby voice as he pouts)
I’m sue there are a few more too. There is no real rhyme or reason to any of it. Also he doesn’t seem to mind what I call him. At this rate he will have about 100 names by the time he is 1.
