A Little Bit Country

I don't know what has happened to Jack's speech lately. All of a sudden he has a thick southern accent! I feel like I have lost mine, for the most part. Some words will always remain the same. Maybe I am completely wrong, maybe I have tricked myself into thinking that it is gone because no one else around me has one. I just don't know where else Jack could have picked it up, maybe he is just being silly..or maybe we're facing some sort of speech therapy...I don't know. All I know is, this is how he is pronouncing some of his words lately:

Hey Mama, what's theyat (that)?

I fell dayown (down)!

aayyyoooouch (ouch)!

Haayelp playease (help please).

We've noticed some words along the way that sound a little southern, like his first word..."Ba" aka bye. It just seems like he is drawing out some of his words more often and adding some extra syllables...this is something I was notorious for when I was a little girl. My Mom always tells me that when people would ask me what my name was, my response would be, "Maaayyree Graaayyce". So maybe its just in his genes, whatever the reason, it has given Clint and me some good laughs.

(Thanks Dad for catching my grammatical errors...sorry everyone for re-posting but I can't help but fix it once it's been pointed out to me!)
