Mac's New Twang and Other Cutie-Pie Moments

So Mac suddenly has a very, VERY Souther lilt to his voice. Where does it come from? Do I talk this way? Does Brad? I didn't think so...but it must come from somewhere.

Word: "there"

Mac's pronunciation: "the-air-yuh"

Word: "milk"

Mac's pronunciation: "me-yul-kuh"

Word: "that"

Mac's pronunciation: "the-yuh-at"

He also has a new obsession with mini-wheats and would eat them 24-7 if I didn't insist on sneaking in some fruit, veggies and protein. His little voice asking for mini-wheats is too cute: "Min-wh-eee?"

One more funny thing I've been meaning to record here: Mac loves his toy dump truck and trash truck. But the drivers are not trashmen or workmen...according to Mac they are mailmen. After all, they wear dark blue uniforms and drive a truck, right?

In other news, Arden is 10 weeks old and has an ear infection! Trying to give 3/4 teaspoon of antibiotics through a syringe twice a day to a young infant with a strong tongue thrust reflex is an adventure. She looks at me with those sweet blue eyes while pink medicine is dripping down her chin and bright pink bubbles erupt from her sweet little cupid's-bow lips. {Goodness this little girls has stolen our hearts!} She seems to be on the mend though. Thank the Lord for antibiotics!!
