Theo has a few new nicknames these days:

Gaseous Clay, in honour of the boxer, because he dances around on his toes (Josh holding him) and flings his arms out, particularly when he's gassy...

Grunther, for the very Germanic grunts and ahems he makes, quite boyish, especially in contrast to his cousin Fern's delicate cries...

Friar Tuck, because he's getting tubby and losing his fine dark newborn-hair, growing in blond, so at the moment he has a monk's tonsure and looks quite pious when he clasps his hands in sleep...

and Guy Smiley, who in the morning is full of big gummy smiles that split his face in two, like the charismatic puppet on Sesame Street.
