Cranky Pants and Other Nicknames

People often ask us what we call Vincent, as there are so many variations to choose from (Vincent, Vince, Vinny, Vin). To be honest, not any one version is used more than another. This is partially due to the fact that we have an ever morphing set of nicknames we like to use. For posterity's sake, I wanted to get them all down before we create more, as no doubt we will. In morphological (yes, it's a word) order:

Precious Little Vincent
The Bump (as in the pregger belly)
Bumper (Chris was very proud of this one)
Bumper Boat
VinJ (compliments of Casey)
Babenstein (I came up with this around Halloween, variation of Frankenstein)
Babystein
Babe-insky
Tootie Pants (it fits)
Baby Steinsky
Steinsky Boy
Monster Mania Man
Cutenstein
Cranky Pants (once teething started)
Crank Yanker
Bubble Nose (once the cold kicked in)

Of course this doesn't even include the obvious, if not common, names we use such as Sweetie, Cutie Pie and so on.

It's a good thing we named him before we left the hospital or who knows what would have ended up on his birth certificate ...
