The Many Names of Jack

A few days ago, I was reading Astrid’s blog about her sweet little Tilly and came across this gem: There's a Danish saying I love, "Kaere barn har mange navne," which means "A well-loved child has many names." It was funny to read that because John and I always talk about how many names we have for Jack. Reading that phrase made me think, “That’s perfect!” because it is so very true. So for those of you who get bored of the baby posts, you’ll hate this one. I apologize in advance. For those of you who love the baby posts, you’re welcome.

His birth name is John Robert. We call him Jack. He’s our:

Haha, I love it! What great photos to accompany each name! I love that saying so much... even when we're calling Tilly rather unfavourable things, it shows she's still loved!
