- Chugs McGee, Chugsy, or Sir Chugs-A-Lot
- When Miles decided to drink, he usually chugs it like a freshman at college. The McGee part is a carryover from one of Nora’s nicknames, Poops McGee.
- Fidget, or Fidget McGee
- When he isn’t resting or eating peacefully, this man is waiving his arms and bobbing his head. He’s always searching for something new to look at.
- Distraction Jackson
- Feeding time can be a little frustrating at times. Even though Miles may be hungry enough to eat a My Little Pony, he’s easily distracted. So, in lieu of sucking on the bottle, he’ll be staring off to the left or the right at who knows what. Sometimes we joke that he’s staring at a ghost, because there’s nothing on the wall that he’s looking at.
- Mr. Mi-Mi or Super Mi-Mi
- Nora came up with this one all on her own. You can hear her using it during the Miles Rolls Over video
- Teg
- NERD ALERT! This nickname really isn’t related to any specific behavior of Miles’. It’s quite simply a reference to Miles Teg from the Dune book series.

Matt –
I love this! It’s amazing how, when they’re babies and they don’t really understand the absurdity of what you’re saying to them, the nicknames just pile up.
Maggie gave one to Cormac, too: Little Shy Guy, although this has also become Little Pie Guy, Little My Guy and, my favorite: Little Thai Guy.
It’s perfect because Mac is neither little nor Thai.
Anyway, I enjoy reading your updates. MIles and Nora are lucky to be surrounded by such good parents.
