The Many Names of Henry Calvin

That's right: TWO posts tonight, friends. One for each reader...

For what it's worth as random information, Henry (a.k.a., Best. Baby. Ever.) goes by many names in our household. Here are some favorites (you'll notice a dominant theme):

1) Lord Chubbington
2) Count Chubbula (or simply, "the Count")
3) Baron von Chubbinstein (or, "the Baron")
4) The Boy (usage: "The Boy is stirring..." (spoken in horror at 3a.m.))
5) The Jackaroo (or 'Roo for short)
6) Chubber
7) Chubby McGee (or McArnackle)

Overprotective parents needn't worry about our son developing an identity crisis. We call him by his proper name plenty, and all of the above are, of course, spoken with all the love and affection we can muster. After all, he is indeed the Best. Baby. Ever.

P.S.: I had no idea what a jackaroo was until Wikipedia, ever the most reliable source of information in the world, gave this definition: "Jackaroo (or Jackeroo) - a young man gaining practical experience on a sheep or cattle property, to acquire the practical skills needed to become a manager of a property or station." Clearly we do not intend this meaning for Henry, but something sounds good about calling him a jackaroo all the same.
