Livyisms

Lately Olivia has been repeating all kinds of things that Kyle and I say.  She has some really cute/funny expressions that she uses.  She says, "What in the world!" a lot these days.  And she also says, "Oh my goodness!"  I like how she combines the two and says, "What in my goodness!"

Olivia  just recently started asking, "How you doing?"  She also exclaims "Mamma mia!" several times throughout the day (daddy first taught her to say this while serving her raviolis).  

She learned the word "obviously" from Aunt Emily.   Now if we ask a question like, "Are you hungry?"  she will sometimes giggle and say, "obviously".  She can't possibly understand what it means, but somehow she knows it is sure to get laughs when used in answer to any question.  

She also likes to point out when things are weird.  We were eating in Panera Bread and Olivia looked up at the lamp above our table and commented, "Weird light!"  Apparently, she is used to more traditional decor.  

Olivia also loves saying "Naaaw" to answer questions.  It kinda sounds like she has a Southern drawl as in, "Ah, shucks."  Yesterday, Kyle asked her, "Are you going to be one of those kids who we're always gonna have to be telling to clean up your room?" and Olivia answered in a drawn out, "Naaw!"  

She says "member" a lot when she wants us to remember something.  She said, "Member lady, ducky, moo cow?" to remind us about the carnival from the previous blog. 

She loves watching videos of her cousins and will request specific ones "Watch Baby Drew laughing Logan?"  "Watch HenLulu Ringo?"  She uses the names Louisa and Henry, but whenever she talks about the two of them she combines them into "Henlulu."  

Oh, and she loves her aunts but especially loves talking about and making jokes about her uncles.  She says "Uncle Corbett, Woah!" because that is what Corbett likes to say:)  She says, "Member Craigy beard?" "Mommy, beard? naaaww!" and tickles under my chin as she makes the joke.  She has a little play person with a baseball cap that she named, "Logan."  She looked right at him and said, "Hi Logan!" and cracked herself up.  She's expressing herself more and more and has a good little sense of humor developing.
