Let's Do the Twist, Baby

Someone once told me that babies have natural rhythm.

If they do, some of us must lose it along the way - because this white girl can't dance. At all. Not even in the shuffling around the room with arms around your prom date's shoulder's kind of sense. It didn't help that my prom date was six-foot-five, and I was five-foot-three-and-three-quarters, but I digress.

Someone sent me the following video of a baby doing the Twist to make me laugh (they succeeded), but I was just in awe. Obviously the music was added later, but you have to watch this baby go.

Lying on his little changing pad (no worries, Dad's hand is evident nearby at all times during filming), he wiggles and jiggles and does a pretty convincing Twist.

Now: to every parent who has had the diaper tussle, bookmark this. Next time your elbow lands in poop because they won't just lay still and you need a laugh, you can pull it up.

After all the looking and laughing and laughing some more, our panel of judges picked Dana Randall (that's her munchkin, above) as our big winner of the Funny Face Contest on The Babble Playground. Dana will be going home with the NettoCollection Moderne changing table, a $1,750 value. Whoopee! What do you think someone did to that baby to get this reaction? Dana, please do tell.

Even though Dana is the grand prize winner, we had so many great funny face options it took us an extra long time to choose, so we decided to recognize some of the other finalists in the great Funny Face Contest of '08. These lucky Babble Playground familes will be receiving some consolation prizes from the Babble library. Take a gander at the other winners, after the jump.
