We are Northerners living in the South and my LO has a TOTAL Southern drawl. I never noticed it until my parents pointed it out and now I hear it all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-turn-one-syllable-words-into-two#post-2325800 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 13:26:00 +0000 Alivoo01 2325800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes! His most common one is when he says he wants to get down. It's "get-tuh down". I have no idea why!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-turn-one-syllable-words-into-two#post-2325741 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:56:29 +0000 lilteacherbee 2325741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha ohh yes. He's got such a southern accent and I :heart: it (mine is pretty strong too). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-turn-one-syllable-words-into-two#post-2325732 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:51:19 +0000 mamabolt 2325732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Most often with names and turning two syllables into three, so Declan will be Dec-a-lan and Finley will be Fin-eh-ley. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-turn-one-syllable-words-into-two#post-2325731 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:51:13 +0000 ShootingStar 2325731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: DH is from Boston too (and we live just outside the city) but he doesn't have an accent either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-turn-one-syllable-words-into-two#post-2325730 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:50:20 +0000 pregnantbee 2325730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Haha! I'm from Boston but have no accent. I think my son sounds like he's from Southie or something when he turns 1 syllable into 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-turn-one-syllable-words-into-two#post-2325727 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:48:08 +0000 ShootingStar 2325727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS does this with "here". He can't say the letter R yet so it comes out hee-yuh. I joked with DH that now I know where the Boston accent came from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-turn-one-syllable-words-into-two#post-2325726 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:47:31 +0000 pregnantbee 2325726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time! I have no idea why -- but he actually says "hand" like "hay-and." Never taught him that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-turn-one-syllable-words-into-two#post-2325719 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:45:19 +0000 mediagirl 2325719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When your LO says things like hair, pants, hand - do they say them properly or do they sound like a southerner because they've added a syllable? :) </p>
