One of my sons often has a sing-songy, high pitched "baby" voice, but only at times when he's over stimulated or really excited.
Our son does this, too! He's nine but sounds three.

I always wished I had a British accent when I was a kid. Very cool!
ME TOO!! !
And I can pick it up easily. I can even (sometimes/often) discern between different types of English accents, too. I'm also the only person I know who can tell the difference between Irish and Scots accents (which I'm sure will make Brits here cringe). Here's one hint: th = t.
When I was about 10 and reading all the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, I went through a phase of calling my parents "Ma" and "Pa" and wearing a gingham dress and being extremely helpful around the house.
If they'd had Harry Potter then, I certainly would've adopted an English accent for awhile, at least.
