Andrews Family

We have finally arrived. At the stage in life where we have a child old enough to provide comic relief, that is. Here are a few of Livy’s latest:

Livy really enjoys music and following the Responsorial Psalm last Sunday, Livy clapped and shouted, “Yeah! I want more!” Everyone turned to look at us and laughed. I told her we had to listen to a story before we would get more music.

JR put Livy’s carseat in the front of the truck (we can shut off the airbag) for a recent trip to the store. She has learned to pay attention to the traffic lights and started saying, “GO! Go, go, go!!” when we stop at a Red light.

JR taught Livy to shrug and say “I don’t know” one night at dinner. Now she uses it all the time. “Livy, where’s Molly’s pacifier?” . . . “I don’t know.” “Livy, who did that?” . . . “I don’t know.” She even uses it on her own. When she wakes up from her nap and can’t find Red she says, “Led (Red)? . . . I don’t know.”

I really wish I could accurately describe the adorable way she pronounces any number of words, especially please and thank you. Please comes out more like “pea” and is always accompanied by the tilt of her head. Thank you sounds like “tiku” - super cute. She also uses two complete sentences - “I want more” and “I need more,” and she accurately differentiates between the two by saving “need” for when she’s truly desparate. While some things about having a toddler are not so fun, we are really enjoying Olivia’s budding personality and her monkey see, monkey do attitude.
