Since 2009, with three successful books—the #1 bestselling Awkward Family Photos, Awkward Family Pet Photos, and Awkward Family Holiday Photos—and the mega-popular website that started it all (AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com), Mike Bender and Doug Chernack, the geniuses behind the Awkward Family Photos phenomenon, have been making us laugh with side-splitting pictorial reminders of just how bizarre our families can be.

Now the authors are back with a hilarious tribute to arguably the most awkward time of our lives: the baby years.

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 our first post-delivery scowl, to our first throw-up, and yes, even to our first bikini–BORN TO BE AWKWARD is a celebration of what is literally the most uncomfortable stage of life.

Whether it’s the time your parents dressed you and your brother in matching baby birdie outfits, when Mom dropped you on your head during the family photo session, or when you were caught taking a bath in the toilet, BORN TO BE AWKWARD is the place where all of these gems have been memorialized, a reminder that while our baby years are fleeting, the embarrassing moments will live on.
