She can't speak, she's constantly falling down, she's adorable, and she apparently costs hundreds of dollars at the supermarket. Her name is Maggie, the youngest of the Simpson kids. Most of The Simpsons' best episodes only include Maggie as a background character, but she can be a surprisingly versatile baby when she gets the spotlight.
Maggie has no problem with that, but Homer and Marge sure do. When Homer tries to pick her up, for instance, Maggie aggressively squirms out of his grasp. Eventually, Moe is banned from spending time with his new best friend. It's nice when she grabs his shirt at the end, making for an emotional Simpsons episode that shows how loyal Maggie can be to someone she's grateful for.
Even though the Simpson baby doesn't literally speak, subtitles are given to translate what she and the animals are communicating to each other. They're not really necessary, as this could have been intuitive enough with body language alone, but there is an amusing point when Maggie gives way too many instructions to her friends for most viewers to read without pausing.
Even when an angry mob steals Bobo from her, they have the exact same change of heart that Homer did. The only person in the episode who's cold enough to take a teddy bear from a little girl is too physically weak to succeed. In a moving turn of events, however, Maggie discerns just how much Bobo means to Mr. Burns and returns it to him. This beneficent baby was extremely possessive of the bear at first, yet she winds up selflessly giving it up.
