Wanda Sykes: Daughter Isn't Impressed By Crawling

After a few jitters as a first-time mom, Wanda Sykes jokes during a humorous visit to The Jay Leno Show that she is liking motherhood — and plans to tough it out with her fraternal twins.

“I had some thoughts about moving on, but I was like, ‘No, I’m going to stick with it,’” she says. “I’m stayin’ with motherhood.”

And while she may have refrained from making a quick exit, the New Adventures of Old Christine star reveals that her 9-month-old son Lucas Claude is literally all about moving forward these days!

Sharing that her baby boy has mastered crawling, Wanda and her wife Alex have yet to spot that same motivation in Lucas’ twin sister Olivia Lou.

“She just sits there and she watches him crawl. She just looks at him like, ‘Look at that dumbass just wasting all that energy. The maid only comes once a week so these floors are filthy, look at them!’” she laughs.

According to Wanda, unlike her brother, Olivia has already discovered the power behind her set of lungs.

“You can just see her in her little brain just going on like, ‘You know they will pick you up and take you to where you need to go,’” the comedienne jokes.

“She’s like, ‘Watch this, Wahhh!’ And we run over and pick her up and she’s like, ‘Look at this, look at this! I’m moving! I’m moving! I’m moving!’”

- CTBmom on

She is too funny! I like the kids’ names but I was just thinking, Olivia’s middle name is Lou. Does anyone know if Wanda or Alex is the same nationality as Seal?

- Luna on

Lou is short for Louise… it is very used in France, where I live, for instance! I don’t think it has to do with Seal’s nigerian origins! Sulola has…
Anyway, very funny comments on her twins :p

- Jeanne on

@Jeanne: I’m not sure I understand. Her daughter’s real name is Olivia Louise or Lou is just a nickname that she gave her daughter as a middle name? Either way I like it.

- Luna on

She is hilarious, but it is funny when babies know how well they have it made, figure out how to get what they want without much work involved. Olivia’s latest antics are too funny. :D

Luna- I’m pretty sure that Jeanne was just explaining the background of the name Lou (the female version, that is). In otherwords, she was explaining that Lou orginated as a nickname for Louisa, and then went on to explain how Louisa is, in fact, a common French name. :)

Wanda is wicked funny – I wish she was MY mom lol. Those twins are going to have the most fantastic childhoods!
