The day will be better once Mom takes him out of the box.

This is a fire truck and it goes we-oo, we-oo. Cute onesie? Or a dose of reality for shell-shocked new parents?

This gem is what Mama calls “The first week is a little rough on everyone.” Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Of the many reasons to shed tears at the playgound (no available swings, other kids not sharing, scared to down on the slide, etc., etc.), this one is a surprise. Mom explains it in her succinct email, “He’s upset because he got sand on his hands. AT A PLAYGROUND.”
Here’s to the cleanest toddler in Texas!
(Thanks for the cute photo and story, Kathy!)

If looks could chill… Despite being bundled up just as snug as a bug, this little one was not too happy about an early morning jaunt in the cool, crisp fall weather.

No, we’re not paying homage to Kanye; just celebrating this sweet little child’s honest moment caught on camera.
[Editor's note: Mom Kelli and I must be cut from the same cloth to take such a photo!]
(Thanks, Kelli! This is Kelli’s second submission; check her first one here).

I think every parent knows the face and the accompanying whine associated with a nap protest.

This lucky lady is an annual passholder at Disney World — and this is her thoroughly “enjoying” the summer’s Fireworks Spectacular show. File this one away in the Unhappiest Place on Earth collection, folks.
(Thanks to Mom Sharon who is one of the most loyal fans of the site! She writes, “This is so much fun taking pictures of crying babies! I never realized all the great shots I had been missing.” Indeed – Sharon’s photos have been featured not once, but twice before!)
