Cutest. Baby. Video. Ever.

I'm cold*. I'm cranky. I'm fed up with war and threats of a government shutdown and greedy bankers and executives. And while my heart goes out to the people of Japan, if I read or watch one more story about radiation levels in Japan or nuclear reactors, I'm going to start glowing in the dark. And, oh yeah, it's only Monday.

Which means... time for a really cute baby video! This one is titled "Emerson - Mommy's Nose Is Scary!" (I am assuming Emerson is the name of the baby, who is pretty darn cute -- and makes an excellent scared face.)



*It was 24 degrees Fahrenheit this morning -- and it's not much warmer right now. Punxsutawney Phil has a lot of 'splainin' to do.

It must be the diaper!

When did babies in diapers become all the rage? They are EVERYWHERE -- on YouTube, The Today Show... I can barely turn on the TV without seeing some babe in a diaper (whether it's a toddler or a senior citizen)!

First we had those talking E*TRADE babies. Now we have dancing babies...



(Only slightly less creepy than the Ally McBeal dancing baby, which had similar moves. Hmmm...)

and babies strutting their stuff...



all in their diapers! And just their diapers -- no pants or shorts on top, just the occasional shirt.

All my kid did when she wore diapers was crawl (or walk) and fuss. Clearly, these new diapers are made with some superior top-secret technology that makes the wearer super smart, or super cool, or a super suave dancer. What will those diaper companies think up next?!

[Btw, I thought about blogging about something more heavy duty today. But I'm pooped, so just settled for the doody. ;-0]
