Yippee! You don't think I like this Baby Gym Jumperoo, do you, Buckaroo? I can bounce and jump without any fear in this contraption. I love it. Does it show?

Where is she? Can you believe it? Here I sit, all alone on my 3/4 birthday, and Gracie is nowhere to be found! All my life she's been hanging about, sometimes pestering me, and singing songs I really don't understand. And NOW, now that I finally want to hear her sing "Happy Birthday" to me (well 9 months worth, anyway), I can't see her anywhere near me! Do I need glasses already? (Actually, no. My doctor gave me a clean bill of health yesterday. 29 inches, 20 pounds, fit as a fiddle.)

Won't you please help? Everyday, millions of kids, just like me, are sent out into the world spectrometrically challenged. You can help keep this from happening. And keep all of us from clashing with our environment. Send the biggest donation you can afford. Heck, take out a loan, now that the prime rate has been slashed, and send it along, made out to me, Blake. You can look forward to future visions of me in color coordinated surroundings and be happy knowing you helped make it possible. Bless you.

Wow! Deja vu. I'm almost 9 months old and don't have a lot of memories, but somehow this all seems familiar. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was scary. Wait. I remember now. Oh, yeah. I took a short cut!

Did someone say, "Pool Party?" I'm there! I love the water, the poolside ambiance, the babes in bikinis, the food, the music, the sun, the shade, heck, I can't think of anything about it I don't like! After all, isn't a pool really just a "son of a beach?"

See, here's the thing. I like getting out and going to the beach as much as the next kid. But..., hey, look around. Check out our "beach wear." Shirts, sweatshirts, jackets! Pay attention here. There's a clue hiding around here somewhere. No sun, clouds, not a single person in the water except the dork behind us, toe-deep in "crocs." Get it? Not a prime beach day, dudes! And I have not yet spent a single day in a school. Do I look comfy to you? Can you say, "Brrr?"

Aw, gee. Woe is me. I sit here, see Gracie riding her tricycle and running around having fun, but all I can do is sit in one spot and watch. How long before I can get up and run around too? Won't somebody please teach me?

Are you kidding? I have to wear this safety helmet just to sit in my chair here? I can't experience the wind in my hair? The bugs in my teeth? The freedom? I have to be safe? Get me some lead painted, poisonous, Chinese made, toys immediately! I want to live on the edge!
