• "Yeah, I saw that Dad was going to step into that, but rather than say something, I wanted to see what happened. And it was worth it, wasn't it, Mom?"
• "If you think that's funny, here's another joke Uncle Braden taught me."

• " 'Be one with the camera.' And that, dear Mother, is the motto for my future career in modeling."
• "No, you look at the bird — I'm too stylin'. I'm a poser. I am a ladies man!" (from Mitch)

How sweep it is!

• "Here, spider, spider . . . here, spider, spider." (from Mitch)

Food for thought

• "Hey, Mom, ever heard of a bowl?"
• "You know, we could blame this mess on the puppy -- if we had a puppy. How about it? It would take some pressure off me."
• "I'd love to help you vacuum this up, but I can't reach the handle. Heck, I can't even stand up yet."
• "Yes, folks -- look at the previous post below. See a trend here?"

Yeah, that's the ticket!

Cereal killer

Bath time

• "Ummm, still awkward — even after nine months of existence. Yes, I know I came into this world naked, but it doesn't mean you need to keep photographing me that way!"
• "You know, it's not much of a bath when the water level is less than two inches deep. I mean, the result is I end up with a wrinkly rear end, but the top half of me is FREEZING!"
• "Sorry to embarrass all you guys out there with this manly, muscular, buffed physique."
• "Um ... Mom ... I think I just pooped a red washcloth. I don't even remember chewing on one, let alone eating one." (from Mitch)

Auto-matic responses

• "Thanks, Grandma, I needed a break after a week wearing the Nets gear."
• "OK, Grandma, it's a deal — every day I wear this shirt, you give me a dollar ... or maybe a bowl of strained peas."

Pucker up

• "Uh-oh. Whenever I hear my Mom use my full name, I know I'm in trouble. She must have found the TV remote that I left in the toilet."
• "Yeah, I can whistle — but it's at a frequency that only dogs can hear."
• "Hey, Dad, I'm just practicing blowing out my candle on my first birthday cake?"
• "Oooooo, baby, I AM HOT! Check me out, girls!" (from Mitch)
