Kensie has acquired a number of nicknames. The main one is "milky minutes." We started calling her that after seeing the cellular phone commercial that has a family having breakfast and the dad spills milk all over the rollover minutes sitting on the table. The dad tries to throw away the minutes, but the mom reminds him how her sister would be happy to have those milky minutes, since the sister has another cellular plan, where her minutes expire. Anyway, Kensie was spitting up a lot when we first saw that commercial, so we playfully berated her for throwing away her milky minutes with no apparent shame. Needless to say, we have started to feed her with a bib on, to catch those inevitable milky moments.
We also call her variations on "bean." Like our little bean, or beaner. We don't mean for people to think we are calling her a Mexican (as used by comic Carlos Mencia). It's just that when she is all curled up, she kind of looks like a little lima bean.
And sometimes I call her my little monkey, since she makes all these weird noises and moves her arms in animalistic ways. This is most common right when she wakes up! By far some of her cutest moments are when she is going from sleep to awake. She is just like a grown person... trying so hard to get up in the morning for work, but really wishing she could keep her eyes closed and catch 5 more minutes of dreamy sleep time.
