Marilyn: Thanks, Michelle.
     Michelle: I hope you like it.
     Marilyn: Isn't this baby outfit adorable? With his name on it "Max." Thanks so much, Harry and Michelle.
     Richard: We really appreciate it.
     Harry: I'm glad you like it. Michelle Picked it out.
     Michelle: Yes. I told Daddy to pick blue ones. Blue is for boys, and pink is for girls.
     Grandpa: And Max is some boy.
     Richard: He's a real Stewart.
     Granpa: Right!
     Ellen: That was so thoughtful of you, Michelle. Especially to pick it out in blue.
     Susan: Would you like to see baby Max, Michelle?
     Harry: Could she? Could we?
     Michelle: Could I?
     Marilyn: Take them upstairs, Susan. Harry and Michelle can watch Max sleeping.
     Susan: Let's go.
     Harry: Come on, Michelle. Before Max wakes up.
     Marilyn: Will you please take this upstairs, Susan?
     Susan: Uh-hum.
     Marilyn: Thank you.
     Philip: Michelle is very grown up for a ten-year-old, huh?
     Ellen: She's smart and sensitive for her age.
     Grandpa: Growing up without a mother is difficult. You mature quickly.
     Ellen: Susan's like a mother to Michelle. They have a good relationship. Do you think Susan and Harry will get married?
     Robbie: Yeah. You can count on it.
     Philip: I think so. Yes. They get along so well.
     Grandpa: I like him. He's good for Susan.
     Ellen: He's a little quiet.
     Richard: It's hard to do anything but listen in this family.
     Ellen: How can anybody get a word in around here?
     Marilyn: You're right, Ellen.
     Philip: Oh, really?
     Richard: It's the way it should be. The Stewarts are the Stewarts!
     Grandpa: They always were, and they always will be.
     Richard: Right!
     Grandpa: They've always got an opinion. Always got something to say.
     Marilyn: And now there's Max Stewart, and if he talks as loudly as he cries, we're all in for trouble.
     Robbie: He's quiet now.
     Marilyn: Mmm-hmm.That's because he's sleeping.
     Harry: He's really cute.
     Susan: It's not necessary to whisper, Harry. A baby gets used to voices.
     Harry: I remember now. We always whispered when Michelle was born.
     Michelle: And I didn't sleep well. Daddy told me. I never slept. And when I did, I woke up when I heard someone speak.
     Susan: I bet you were cute.
     Harry: She sure was.
     Michelle: Not as cute as Max. He's like a little doll.
     Michelle: Oh, good. Now I can help diaper him.
     Susan: Let's get Marilyn. What do you do when he cries like that?
     Harry: You pick him up.
     Susan: He's so little……so new. Let's call Marilyn.
     Marilyn: Time for a feeding and time for a diapering. You're a real Stewart.
