I've been meaning to blog about Elsie Anne's hilarious speech.  To start, I must give some background information on why this makes Shawn + I so proud... 

My grandmother, BumBum, as many of you know, is quite the Linguist.  She writes poems for every occasion in our family, spent 30+ years writing letters for Florida's Commissioner of Education, and has perfect grammar!  She has helped me w/ my Resume and Letter of Intent, when I had a real job, and the rest of her 7 grandchildren in one way or another!  Long story, short... she knows vocabulary words that you've never heard of, hehe!!

We think it must be a trait that is passed on, b/c as EA learns new words, she tries really hard to pronunciate just the way we do!  But the last letter of her word is always louder than the rest!  These are not necessarily new words, but just an example...

Me: M is for Milk.  mm, mm, Milk!
EA: "milKK!"

Me: H is for Heart.  hh, hh, Heart!
EA: "haaarTT!"

Me: B is for Blanket.  bb, bb, Blanket!
EA: "bankeTT!"

It is really the cutest thing to hear.  I need to post a video for you to get the full effect:)
