They are celebrating Kate's 1st birthday and Kate puts her face in the cake. Arthur tells the viewers that babies do some dopey things, like Buster and Mr. Ratburn. Even JaneandDavid and even his little sister Kate is growing up and he missed the days when she was a cute little baby. But D.W. argues with Arthur and she shouted how that Arthur didn't even like Kate when she was a baby. Arthur did when she was a baby an D.W. remembers exactly what happened.
-Title Card-
Arthur and D.W. are playing a grape eating contest and D.W. ate the last grape when Arthur tries to get it. David calls Arthur and D.W. to come to them and Jane said that they are going to have a baby. While D.W. is excited about this, David told Arthur that it will take six months before the baby comes. Arthur was depressed.
UNCOMPLETED PLOT
Trivia
- Mr. Ratburn was called Emil by his mom when Arthur imagined his friends and adults as babies, but later seasons renamed him as Nigel.
- Kate was shown before, in "Arthur's Spelling Trubble."
Differences from the book
- Kate's bassinet was purple; although in the book, it was white (as well as on the cover illustration).
- The videos of Arthur and D.W. as babies showed Arthur as a toddler at the age of 1 and D.W. when she was just a baby with a lot of crying. In the book, it was a photo album that showed Arthur wearing a cowboy hat and crawling at 9 months and sitting in a high chair with a bowl of food on his head and eating at the age of 1, and D.W. when she was 2 months old and when she was 5 months old.
- When D.W. diapers a load of toys, Arthur had spotted his Bionic Bunny action figure wearing a diaper (which angered him), and then he quickly took the diaper off of Bionic Bunny. In the book, the Bionic Bunny action figure wasn't featured, and D.W. was only diapering her dolls.
Goofs
- T-shirts should never be tucked into diapers; nonetheless, this mistake continues to be done. The only character to be properly seen with the shirt hanging out of the diaper was Arthur when he was a baby.
- When David and Jane said that they're waiting 6 months for the baby to arrive, Arthur was wearing glasses, even though the events of "'Arthur's Eyes" appeared to take place only approximately a month and a half before Kate was born. This mistake also happened in the book.
- In the scene where Arthur and D.W. go to see Kate at the hospital, a teddy bear can be seen in one of the cribs with the other sleeping babies.
- When Jane asks Arthur to watch Kate, Kate was wearing blue pants. Few seconds later, they changed back into her regular clothes.
