"Nugga"
This guy does not get nearly enough face-time on this blog. Nearly three and a half, we affectionately call him "Nugga" (nug-uh), which was originally derived from "nugget," I believe. But really, how often can one really pinpoint where a nickname came from? He will actually answer to it in public, so I guess he's officially stuck with it. In any case, I dare you to find anything cuter!
Cute! And that's so funny, nugga (or however you spell that!) is one of Jonathan's favorite words (and foods). We call him nugget man. :) Nugget was actually his first word, but at the time it was pronounced "mugget." Pretty funny!

He really is absolutely adorable! I constantly want to snuggle him, but I think that would weird him out! :)

Yes, he's irresistable all right. And quite the ham for the camera. Love that Nugga mug!
