Daily doze

• " ... I'm dreaming of a puppy ... I'm dreaming of solid foods like pizza and French fries ... I'm dreaming of running around the house and screaming my head off ... I'm dreaming of a Nets' win ... oh, bother - all that stuff is going to have to wait, isn't it?"
• "If I close my eyes long enough in my car seat and wish long enough, maybe I'll wake up and we'll be in Utah!"

A familiar cord?

• "Hey, Mom, this really IS fun ... but are you sure this is the way you learned how to jump rope?"
• "I'm practicing for our family's Caribbean cruise and the "baby limbo" competition."
• "What's that you said, Dad? Something like 'why shell out big bucks for baby toys when Carter can entertain himself with electrical cords and cardboard boxes?' "
• "Pulling this is a blast ... but I really wonder what it would be like to bite? If only I had teeth!"

Blue thingie

• " 'I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine, and he shall be my Squishy. Come on, Squishy. Come on, little Squishy. . . . Owwww! Bad Squishy, bad Squishy.' " (think of a movie)
• "I'm blue da ba dee da ba die ... da ba de da ba die ... da ba de da ba die ... da ba de da ba die ... " (think of song)

The naked truth

• "Hey, no clothes here - AWKWARD!"
• "Getting out the camera during bath time? OK, Mom, sometime during the next few years, we'll see how you like it!"
• "Listen, folks, before you get the wrong idea, that's a dark-colored mat I'm sitting on in the tub - nothing else!"

Tubthumping

• "A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-h-h-h-h-h-h-h!"
• "I'm gonna let you in on this little secret: I'm not wearing any clothes!"
• "My mom and I want to patent this combination baby recliner/bathtub, with is special feature - a 45-degree tilt without the water spilling out."
• "I just went potty in the bathtub!" (From Michelle)

Kickin' back

• "All I need is the TV remote, a bowl of snacks and a tall, cold drink and I'll be set."
• "Uh, Dad, you make a better door than a window ... what I'm trying to say nicely is ... YOU'RE BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE BIG-SCREEN!"

The spittin' image

• "I'm trying my hardest to work on this milk moustache so I can be featured on the next 'Got Milk' ad campaign, but it gets all upside-down."
• "I keep telling my Uncle Braden that it's just cottage cheese!"

Getting smacked!

• "Gettin' smooches from the ladies, even before my first birthday! Hey, when you've got it, flaunt it." (Scott, 1-7-10)
• "I remember Larry the Cucumber from Veggie Tales singing a verse of "I Love My Lips" that went something like: 'My Auntie B., when she kissed me, she had a beard and it felt weird.' ... AWKWARD!" (Scott, 1-7-10)

Conspiracy theories

• "Guys, it doesn't matter if we're plotting to take over the world or simply hijack all the Christmas presents. Think about it — no plan is going to work if we can't even crawl yet." (Scott, 1-7-10)

Hangin' with the stocking

• "I'm just saying this is a good Christmas tradition to keep throughout my life — that my parents provide me with a stocking as tall as I am that year. And enough presents to fill it every year, too." (Scott, 1-7-10)
• "I asked Santa for a Snuggie, not a Sockie." (Scott, 1-7-10)
