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?

All the time! I have no idea why -- but he actually says "hand" like "hay-and." Never taught him that!
-
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.

@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.
-
@pregnantbee: DH is from Boston too (and we live just outside the city) but he doesn't have an accent either.
-
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.
-
Hahaha ohh yes. He's got such a southern accent and I
it (mine is pretty strong too).
-
Sometimes! His most common one is when he says he wants to get down. It's "get-tuh down". I have no idea why!!

Yaaaasssss. 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.
it (mine is pretty strong too).
