There's something truly special about kid humor. It comes from this magical place of naiveness, silliness and honesty that makes it pure and undeniably hilarious. There are no planned punchlines, just accidental moments that capture the joys of childhood. Luckily for us, parents are often hanging around with their cameras ready to capture any and everything their children do or say.
So who are the cutest, unintentionally funny tots out there? There are probably too many to count, but I dare you to take a five minute break and enjoy some of our favorites.
When it comes to stuffing bears, bunnies, and all the other plush toys ready for the making at Build-A-Bear workshops, parents seem to have strong opinions. They either are all for introducing the creative process to their kids or they won't even step foot in the store. We can tell where Tom and Suri Cruise stand on the issue, so which camp do you fall into? Source
Some of the top-of-the-line strollers on the market today are those made by phil & teds. The New Zealand manufacturers have hit a sweet spot with their multifunctional line of duo seating buggies that serve many purposes while still looking sleek and sporty.
Great for a day out on the jogging path, the phil & teds Dash ($550) is suited to give mommy an easy outing while providing a baby (or two) a comfy cruise.
Perks mama can enjoy are an adjustable ergonomic handlebar, easy to manage rear brakes, a roomy storage basket that has pouches to stow small items, a sun canopy with a peek-a-boo window, and a long lifetime. Also, instead of having to double up on strollers, every phil & teds buggy is suited to add another seat (for an additional $100), magically turning it into a double stroller in minutes. A new feature for phil & teds, the area above the front wheel is now plastic. Why is that better you ask? The original fabric foot area design was appealing to the eye, but busy lil feet tended to wear the fabric down leaving tiny toes in danger of touching the wheel. The plastic board is an improvement to an already stellar stroller.

There are a number of adorable organic onesies on the market these days, but only a select few catch my eye with their originality and comfort levels. The whimsical, clean designs of Eight3One's line of organic baby clothes ($28) fit the bill. The certified organic and fair trade creations feature five modern ink drawings of animals on a natural cotton-color background. If that doesn't sell you on the baby basics, the company's name might. According to their founders, Eight3One was derived from a saying that is eight letters, three words and has one meaning…I love you.
Need a sweet topping for your tot? Expectant mamas get burpers and blankets galore, but the most treasured presents are those that gift time. Though my children have outgrown their handmade blankets, booties and bonnets, I cannot bare to part with them.
If you're looking to give a mother-to-be something unique, this blue and brown knit hat is fitting. I was in awe of the cute creation that a fellow Sugar staffer made for her pregnant friend who just happens to be a pie maker. What a wonderful and fashionable way for a wee one to welcome Fall. To knit one for the lil love of your life, click here for directions.
Most tots don't like getting shots and many parents can't bear to watch, but it seems the process will continue as federal officials are now recommending that all children between six months and eighteen years of age get the flu shot. This will protect an additional 30 million minors. A CNN article said:
The age group was expanded this year because children are two to three times more likely to contract the disease than are adults, said Dr. Renée Jenkins, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The report noted that about 36,000 Americans die each year from flu complications. Pregnant women are also advised to get the vaccine.
