meet mr. ogg

Audrey is a baby of many nicknames. We started out calling her Oggie, because that's how Olivia pronounced her name when we first picked it. Then she called her Ah-Dee, and now she can pronounce her name properly. But the nicknames have stuck around.

In the sleepless, slap-happy, delirious newborn days, we started calling her Oggmeister or Oggmeister 3000. Olivia heard the "ogg" and "meister" parts and switched them in her head, so she was calling her Mr. Ogg. As in, "Oh no! I hear Mr. Ogg crying downstairs!" We found it so hilarious that we've started calling her Mr. Ogg now as well.

So our dear Audrey may not ever learn her real name. She's:

ah-dee
oggie
mr. ogg
oggmeister
butter bean
butter biscuit (I have no idea how these last two started)
peanut
peanuttiest

You should see the looks we get in public when we refer to our kids as OE and Oggie/Mr. Ogg.
