Father’s Day has come and gone, but we’ll always have Life of Dad’s “Cheerio Challenge.” Sleeping babies are at the mercy of their dad’s tomfoolery, while Cheerios are stacked as high as possible on their motionless bodies.
As far as we know, the record currently stands at sixteen Cheerios high. You can keep track of the competition on Facebook, #CheerioChallenge.
And, just in case you think this is mean… Babies and mom’s have already plotted their revenge. Take that, motionless dad!
When you leave an 18-month-old alone with his 3-yr-old sister and a jar of peanut butter — he will inevitably take the form of the adorably grotesque Peanut Butter Baby.
Possessing the not-so superpowers of sitting there and taking it and babbling incoherently, the beige little guy is the hero we deserve. No mention if he eventually developed a peanut allergy. I’d blame his sister if so.
Peanut butter babyThis video was taken in 2004. It is THE video that gave us our 30 Seconds of “fame.” (And an all-expense paid trip to Chicago) Emily was 3 and Ethan was 18 months at the time.

If you need a throw rug for your kid’s room, and they’re just not sophisticated enough for bear skin, then you might consider a DIY Cookie Monster Rug.
Brought to us by Instructables member, mikeasaurus, the small area rug is made easily with some blue shag fabric, white yarn and black buttons for eyes.
Perfect for your kids to lounge on while they eat cookies… or just to pretend that they hunted a Muppet.

Ever notice how newborn babies look just like burritos when they’re swaddled? Etsy store AwesomeSauceDesign thinks so… or perhaps they think that babies don’t look enough like burritos, and created the Burrito Baby Blanket.
The handmade novelty baby blanket resembles a tortilla with all the fixins. Baby not included, guacamole extra.

If you’re a bit nervous about swaddling your new baby, The Tortilla Baby Swaddle Blanket is here to help. Designed to look like a tortilla, and we know you know how to roll a burrito, you’ll have that baby wrapped up in no time. To help complete the burrito ensemble, the set comes with a burrito knot hat.
Just remember… Most burritos from Chipotle and similar establishments are baby-sized, so please pay attention at dinner time. Happy swaddling.
