Teddy: Hi Charlie! There you are, nine months old, and look how cute you are! Yeah...And look how cute I am. It's your big sister, Teddy here and I'm making this video diary here to help you survive our...special family. Oh, hey! Looks like Dad taught you how to eat bananas. And there's Mom, looking lovelier than ever this morning.

Amy: Not in the mood. Okay, I think you've had enough bananas so we're switching to sweet peas! You're gonna love them, look Mommy think there so yummy look. Mmmm...(spit)

Teddy: Very smart always let Mommy try it first, 'kay? (Scene switches to Family Room) Oh, there's your older brother PJ doing today's homework at the last minute as usual.

PJ: This isn't today's homework, it's yesterday's homework.

Teddy: There's a chance you two will be in high school together. Oh, and Dad is preparing for another's day of work, he kills bugs for a living.

Bob: Honey, come on, we've been through this. I don't kill bugs, I'm a pest control specialist.

Teddy: Either way, (moves finger across the neck, signaling 'dead') So, now you met the whole family.

Gabe and Will: Forgetting people?

Teddy: Gabe! Will! No, no, no, I, I didn't forget about you! I was just saving the best for last! Charlie, that was your younger, older brother and sister, Gabe and Willamina. (turns to Gabe) Do you want to say something to Charlie?

Gabe: You ruined my life.

Will: I love you, Charlie! Never. Call me Willamina!!

Teddy: Okay, so, it's taking Gabe a little longer to get used to you. Your kind of a surprise...

Gabe: Thought surprises were supposed to be good.

Teddy: And Cut. (puts away camera)

Amy: Okay gang, listen up! I'm going back to work tonight at the hospital for the first time since Charlie was born. So I want everybody to stay at home and help Dad with the baby.

Teddy: No Mom, I'm not going to be here tonight, I have a study date at the library.

Amy: Ugghh...

PJ: Don't you mean studly date? With Spencer? (makes kissing noises)

Teddy: Oh save it for your pillow!

Amy: I'm sorry Teddy, but you're just gonna have to reschedule.

Teddy: But Dad...

Amy: Bob.

Bob: Um, Dad's not available right now.

Teddy: Mom, don't take this the wrong way, but why did you guys have to have another baby?

Amy: Well, because, three kids were just too easy, three's for quitters!

Will: Umm? I'm right here!

Amy: Sorry Will! Four is for quitters!

Bob: And Teddy, you know better to schedule a study date with a boy I never met. Come on, as Dad it's my responsibility to know every detail in my kids' life.

Gabe: Oh yeah? What school do I go to?

Bob: Um...The one named after that president? (Twins shake head) Hey, you know what? I gotta drive you, kids, to school!

Teddy: Let's go!

Gabe: But, I haven't even have had breakfast yet!

Bob: C'mon! Let's go!
