"Driving is fun! Driving is fun! Driv-Driving is- Driving is fun! Buckle up! Me drive car! Driving is-Buckle up!" Spock watched as the infant giggled and pushed the buttons on the 'driving console' toy that Kirk had presented her with. Apparently it had been his when he was an infant, and was themed with characters from an old Terran children's show. Spock would admit to disliking the repetition of the high squeaky voices, but let his daughter play with it all the same. She looked up at him and he smiled at her, then she smiled back and returned to playing.

Since he was babysitting, Spock had taken to playing with the wooden blocks that had letters and numbers on them; another old Terran toy that Jim had insisted she have. Spock picked out the appropriate letters and spelled out the infants name facing her. "There you are, Skylar, your name." He concluded, then took to building a pyramid atop her name. once finished, he looked at his daughter, "Does it please you?" He offered, his face normal as he inquired to the girl, now 14 months old. She studied him for a moment then crawled over to the pyramid of blocks and sat herself before it.

Subsequently, as Spock expected, she reached for it and the blocks tumbled onto the Vulcan, leaving Skylar ever so pleased with herself. "Ah oh" She confirmed, surveying the blocks. Spock looked at her for a moment with his eyebrow raised,

"Uh-oh indeed." He knew that the girl often dropped things or knocked them over just to exercise her knowledge of the phrase. "You expect me to build it again?" he offered, holding up a block to the girl. She smiled and crawled through the blocks to get to him and stood, using his chest for support.

"AH!" She barked in his face, causing the Vulcan to jump slightly.

"Oh?" He offered, raising an eyebrow again. He took advantage of her position to check her diaper, and figured she should be changed because she was wet. Spock sat her down facing the blocks and stood to get the diaper bag. Once he retrieved a diaper for the girl he turned around and was shocked.

Skylar was standing on her own and wobbily walking toward him. He turned and walked to the ship intercom.

"Kirk to the recreational lounge." He said, staring at the infant.
