His name is Kailum (pronounced KAY-lum). The name means "peaceful" and he is the most peaceful, happy baby you will ever meet. However, we rarely call him Kailum. For some reason, this kid has multiple nicknames that are all variations of two: Kai and Nugget.
Now "Kai" is pretty obvious. It just his name shortened and pronounced with a long "I" instead of a long "A". "Nugget" came about because Kate called him this once and it just stuck. Both are perfectly suitable nicknames (because he's pretty tasty too) but things have gotten a little out of hand. Here are some of the more common names you will hear us call Mr. Kailum on a normal day:
- Kai
- Kai Kai
- "KALUM, KILUM, KOLUM, KULUM, KELUM" (a play on the vowel sounds compliments of his Uncle Bob)
- Nugget
- Nugs
- Nuggy
- Nuggy Wuggy
- Nuggy Wuggy Woo Woo Woo (my wife has issues)
- Nuggles
- Nuglet
- Nooget
- Mr. Nugglesworth
And my personal fave...
- Michael "Nug"las
We love you Kailum. We promise to stop when you turn 18.
