Born To Be Awkward: Parents reveal hilarious photos of their babies

Sive O'Brien

Everyone loves a good baby pic, right? Especially when they’re as funny as the ones shared in a new book called Born To Be Awkward.

After starting a blog for people to share their hilarious snaps of uncomfortable family moments, Mike Bender and Doug Chernack decided to create a book that serves as a tribute and celebration to those early and sometimes awkward years of life.

A description reads, “Our first few years are the most photographed time of our lives. Our parents document every milestone and then feel compelled to share these photos with the world. The only problem is, we haven’t developed our motor skills and can’t control our faces, or any other parts of our body for that matter. This, of course, leads to some of the most hilarious and unexpected family pictures.”

From post-delivery scowls, to little ones looking a bit cheesed off with life, the pics might not exactly be the sort most people would coo over, but they will definitely make you chuckle. Here are just a few of our favourites from the site…
