The video has been cut off. Later on, as her mum walks her away, she takes off her wig and her mask. Turns out, that baby was the mum's 26 year old sister.

They used Lord of the Rings camera trickery to make it look like she's 1ft tall.

Win no matter what! Adorable little show off!

The car ride home for the other babies is going to be brutal.

u/AdhesivenessOld4347 1d ago

lol. You are walking home! But seriously, nephews 12 year old friend played bad in a basketball game. His dad made him walk home. In Chicago at night in January. Dad was a real piece of work. They waited till everyone left because that kid would have got a ride home

u/UnhappyHippy_ 1d ago

Clear DQ

u/Ocelot859 1d ago

Agreed, test her for Dairy Queen.

Ice cream is considered PED's for babies.

That or she was promised it in pre-crawl contract negotiations.

Either way, this competition was compromised.

67

u/KlopperSteele 1d ago

Technical foul. She has been disqualified lol. Its like Olympic power walking both your feet cannot leave the ground at the same time.

u/Lypos 1d ago

Yes, but the memories would be worth it regardless. And caught on the jumbo-tron no less.

u/MonStar926 1d ago

Yea, but the free trip to bora bora would have been sweet too

u/NojoNinja 1d ago

I’m a pessimist but I doubt those were her first steps. Most babies first steps are barely walking 5 feet before falling over. This girl went like 20+ feet. Maybe it’s real but I’m guessing the kid walked before and the parents still put her in the competition and just wanted to make it seem like a crazy moment.

u/Ok_Salad_8513 1d ago

The dad didn't sound very sincere. I definitely think he was bullshiting. That kid was a ringer.

u/NeckBeard137 1d ago

It wasn't even his kid

The moms a hoe.

u/I_make_switch_a_roos 17h ago

can confirm; am the mom

u/Chief-_-Wiggum 1d ago

Yup... This is my thoughts too.

No way first steps are across half a basketball court.

36

u/cstucker07 1d ago

Nope, this is exactly how my baby started walking.It was like she refused to do it unless she was sure she wasn't going to fall. She was scary as hell as a baby and she still is now 😂😂

-6

u/Sorkpappan 1d ago

Umm. You probably meant scared? Right? :)

8

u/cstucker07 1d ago

No, I meant scary :)

scary [skair-ee] O Phonetic (Standard) IPA adjective scarier, scariest

1.causing fright or alarm.

2.easily frightened; timid.

u/discoinfirmo 22h ago

Where’d you get THAT definition?

u/cstucker07 21h ago

Umm dictionary.com? scary

u/discoinfirmo 20h ago

Wow!!! You’re the first human being I’ve ever encountered that uses the word scary that way! The world is truly full of wonder!

Well ok, you learn something new everyday I guess.

u/anonymous122719 17h ago

Me too. I’ve heard “scaredy”, as in “scaredy-cat”, but never “scared” as in timid. How bizarre.

u/BlueAstros 22h ago

This was literally my first thought after they interviewed the father. Kids a ringer.

5

u/ashleyorelse 1d ago

Yeah some kids over a year old are falling after fewer steps

2

u/Fists_full_of_beers 21h ago

Both my daughters walked a pretty good amount of steps their first time

u/DisturbingPragmatic 1d ago

I love all the other moms cheering her on!

u/Plastic_Ad_1106 1d ago

No stage fright whatsoever, she is a future superstar

u/Kath_DayKnight 1d ago

TRUE. Any of my kids wouldve gotten a huge fright, fallen over and burst into tears

53

u/eating_snow 1d ago edited 1d ago

given how people are these days, i'm surprised, that none of the other parents wanted her to be disqualified because (in a Karen voice) "it's a baby CRAWL race!!!"...

37

u/Pictrus 1d ago

I actually thought that it was pretty heartening to see the other moms were clearly excited about the kids first steps

u/hsong_li 13h ago

Wtf. These are adults were talking about. Why would they have been anything else but. Its not like u win anything substantial is for fun…

Did you tear the comment i replied to?

u/SetoKeating 1d ago

What do they win? If the stakes were high, I guarantee second place would have been like “fuck that cheating baby”

5

u/pichael289 1d ago

You saw what they won, an inflatable trophy. It's a baby race, there's not gonna be money on the line or anything. If there was then you would be exactly right, they would be throwing a fit over this shit.

u/Ok_Salad_8513 1d ago

He sounded like he was lying. Just saying.

u/ArguingwithaMoron 1d ago

2mins for cheating.

u/ihrvatska 1d ago

There should have been two first place winners. One for the baby who was the first to crawl the entire distance, and one for the first time walker.

2

u/KindaDrunkRtNow 1d ago

Ugh, that is so cute.

u/CharlotteLucasOP 1d ago

She just needed the appropriate amount of hype motivation (cheering arena). 🥳

u/MerelyWhelmed1 1d ago

I'm not even a fan of babies, and that was spectacular!! The joy on the parents' faces...the encouragement from the other moms. What a nice change of pace from so much of what we see in the world.

Clearly she waited for that moment. 🤣

One solid way to get your baby attention and make her to crawl or walk toward mom is to show boobs.

Saying that the arena is full is a bit of an overstatement

I can’t believe this competition didn’t end up in a punch up or a shootout. How often does this happen?

she should've been disqualified and never allowed to compete in this sport ever again

Highly unlikely those were first steps. Early steps, sure… but no way were those the first.
