list no. 23 . in a name

I've always had a fondness for nicknames. To me they are a sign of endearment and those that I love are often the recipient. Now that A is almost a teen, her nickname list has mostly been retired because it's embarrassing to her twelve year old self when I call out, 'Bean' in public. 

Thankfully I have Howard, a.k.a.:

1. Howie (obvi)
2. Doodle
3. Aussie Doodle Do
4. Poodle
5. Puppers
6. Pupson
7. Lickerson
8. Snifferson
9. Nipsy Russell, (here I date myself)
10. Richard Lixon, (M's invention and my favorite to date)

Edited to add, and certainly not to be forgotten:

1. Chewy
2. Chewbacca
