Piggly Wiggly- because he loves to eat and he's such a wiggle worm!
Bubby- kind of a cross between Bubba and Baby
Little Man- (for church on Sunday, we dressed him in a little outfit complete with a sweater vest and he truly looked like a little old man!)

Tony gets called T, T-man, T-Diddy, Tony baloney, Connie, and Doodle Head (and he's 16-I'm sure he loves it when we call him those!)

Drew gets called Drew-boo, Boo, Gerbil, Zooboomafoo (his favorite, I'm sure!), and Der.

Ben is Benito, monito, mijo, Stinker Ben, Boo, Crazy Hair, Giggle box, and probably a hundred more.

My niece Annabelle is Sugar Bean, Stinker Bean, Stinker Belle, Stink, Goof, Smelly Belly, Jelly Belly, Princess Poopy Pants (which she REALLY doesn't like), Belle Monster, and many more.

Can you tell I am the nickname queen? I even nickname my friend's kids!

We have recently started calling Vivian "Penguino", she waddles like a peguni - it is cute. We also call her "budda-budda" with her round little belly 'princessa' not so much anymore, but this is what her foster family was calling her. Elvis - she has the hair alright.

Emery - Emmy, Emerbemer, Blue Eyes (only one in our house with blue eyes), Irish pistol (she gets mad pretty quickly)
Of course at times they are called 'the twins', beastly (this applies to all 3 girls in the house)
Miriana mostly goes with "Mimi", that is how she pronounced her name when she started talking, beast,
Casey- Caser, Dobie (my Dad's nickname for him), lovebug
