an incomplete list of nicknames (or, how to give your child an identity crisis)

i hardly refer to anyone by their real name. i have pet names, nicknames, or other terms of endearment for almost everyone. (for those i don't have any, i probably don't care about you that much, but i digress...) so it stands to reason that emmi will have more than a few nicknames given to her. some are cute, some are weird, some are just because, some defy explanation. i wonder if she will grow up not knowing which end is up because i'm calling her a different thing every time. with that said, here are a list of nicknames she has been given at one time or another.

emmiface
cutieface
cutiehead
babynoggin
babyhead
emmifina
fininha
smiley mcsmilerson
mustardbutt
sillyhead
peanut
stinkyhead
stinky mcstinkface
poutyface
baberino
baby
the child
princess cutietoes
milkbreath
poopybutt
peepeebutt
scream queen

some of these have a story: mustardbutt, for instance, is due to a three month old's poop looking like a bottle of french's exploded. some, like milkbreath, are pretty self explanatory. others are just my overactive imagination putting words together. i'm sure this list will expand as the years go by, but if i go on the last 6 months, i'll be shocked if she answers to emmi at all...
