I Am Muddy

 

Alex started calling me Muddia (pronounced Mudi–ya) when she was in middle school.  She doesn’t remember why she did, but it stuck.  Caroline will call me Muddia occasionally, too.

Before baby Mason was born,  Alex had a crazy dream that the baby couldn’t pronounce Muddia – he would say Muddy.  When she shared the dream with me the next morning I got a good laugh and then forgot about it. 

Mason is ten weeks old today and we need my grandmother name.  G-Man is definitely Papa (pronounced pop-a).  I have tried on every name in the book and we all come back to the dream.  It looks like little Mason will be calling me Muddia if he can say it, but Muddy will be fine.  In fact, it has grown on me.   I like Muddy.  I am beginning to feel like Muddy!!! 

Here are some new photographs of our sweet boy.

 

Papa has already gotten this little guy hooked on Buzz Lightyear!

  2. Hi Rhonda, Aren't grandchildren the best? I have five, but they are not babies anymore. The youngest just turned four. Mason is absolutely adorable and I know Muddy and Papa are thrilled.

  10. He is so cute, Rhonda! I'm still trying to figure out my Grandma name. I've been thinking about Mimi, Gammi, Gigi, but I think it's all going to come down to what the kid can pronounce!

  13. Hello Rhonda!

    What a cute name for a grandmother! Mason is a doll baby! My little darling is now five weeks old and I am loving every minute of being his Nonna! The other options were (and may still be) MiMi or GiGi.

  14. Rhonda,

    Oh Mud-dah ... Mud-dia.. Perhaps that's how it came about. I used to play with that word when I was younger with my own mother.
    Mason is a Sweetie-Pie and I know he loves his Papa and his Muddy-Pie!

    Your Friend,
    Deborah

  15. That is SO CUTE!!! My hubby is Papa too and grandbaby Addy is a Pap's girl, but she does make sure to let people know who I am whenever anyone's around. I'm Aboo.I was trying to get her to say Oma, it's grandma in German and it came out Aboo and has stuck. I like it much better, but people have no idea what she means when she points at me and says Aboo. That's ok tho. We sure have a blast with her too. Enjoy your baby chubby's. Kelli

  16. He is just the cutest darn thing eva! My kids call my husbands mom Nana which at first I was not hip to cause that is what I called my grandmother who passed away but now she is certainly a Nana. We have a Papa on that side. My mom is sometimes called Grandma but most of the time she is just shortened to Ma and my step dad is Grandpa.
