As promised, here's a photo of Micah with his toe in his mouth, a new favorite pasttime, and one of him sitting up. He can't hold that position for too long, but when he gets his arms out there, he does a pretty good job of leaning forward on them for awhile. This video is of him playing with his lion toy and giving it a "kiss." He hasn't learned how to pucker up yet, but he'll lick your cheek :-)
In honor of Corinth, which we will be leaving soon, I am posting a partial glossary of Southern words for all us Yankee folk. You can now feel free to travel down here without feeling out of place!
Y'all-- means you all. Variation: "all y'all" for more than one group or a very large group. Also may be possessive: y'all's. Ex: "Y'all's truck is in the driveway."
Favor--not a party gift. It's a single-word verb that means to look like. Ex: "You and your husband favor."
Might could--this is a construction that means "might be able to". Variations: might would or may could, may would
Make a picture--means the same as to "take a picture"
Dag nab it--this is a widely used euphemism for you know what
Bless her heart--an expression used to denote pity on someone. Variations: bless her little pea-pickin' heart, bless y'all's heart (see entry #1) Sometimes used to express fake pity after gossipping about someone :-)
Oh, me--Same as "oh, my. "
reckon--means "I guess" Ex: "I reckon it's going to rain."
Mash--not referring to potatoes. Mash in this context means "to push". Ex: "Mash the button."
Sissy--not meaning a wimp. lovey title for a girl who is a sister. You might call her this if you are her brother or mother (in front of her brother). "Sissy, come here and help your brother pick up his toys."
get you some--get some for yourself. Ex: "Get you some paper from the filing cabinet."
Oh, me. Well, if you reckon you can get a hold of these here words and phrases, bless y'all's heart, y'all might could travel down here......Just kiddin' :-)
