All new parents take photos of their babies, especially the first born ones. This father doesn't stop after the first day of school though. He keeps photographing his son, taking the same photo with him year after year. They've kept the tradition for more than 29 years. It's inspiring to see the father and son grow older together. Be sure to see the surprise in the last one.

They were fiercely-fought competitions full of screaming, crying, and tantrums, but as one set of archived images reveals, baby-racing Diaper Derbies were in fact a popular spectator sport during the mid-twentieth century.
And while the idea has been occasionally revisited in recent years, these fascinating photos taken in New Jersey during the 1950s show big crowds turning out for the adorable event.
In the black-and-white pictures, babies are seen lining up at a fair ground - with the help of some very involved mothers, of course - before crawling their way out of a starting gate, much like those used in horse racing, to a collection of stuffed-toy prizes while the crowd cheers them on.

Kiddie competition: Popular Diaper Derbies held during the 40s and 50s, saw crawling tots racing one another to the finish line

Parental help: Mothers would set up their children in a starting gate before the race started

A decade of adorable: The Palisades Park, New Jersey event was held from 1946 to 1955

Held in Palisades Park, New Jersey, from 1946 to 1955, the annual Diaper Derby saw confused tots in cloth diapers racing in what was billed as 'the slowest two minutes in sports'.
The babies were corralled in a starting gate, much like horses, by their mothers, as other family members and interested fair-goers stood nearby to watch.
Once the race began, the toddling tots were urged to crawl a short distance to an enticing row of stuffed bears, dogs, and bunnies on the other side.

Come get teddy! The babies were enticed to crawl to a line of stuffed animals at the finish line

Tired tots: Some of the contestants fell asleep and couldn't complete the race

Not impressed: Winners had the honor of wearing a crown -although this champion didn’t look too pleased about his

Sore losers? Predictably, several of the contestants cried and through tantrums

While it is thought that the children competing got to take home the stuffed animals they were racing towards, the child champions each also received a savings bond -and, in some cases, a special crown.

And according to a 1946 issue of Life Magazine, the races were just as ridiculous as one might imagine. During the eighth annual event, which was sponsored by the National Institute of Diaper Services, entrants made their way across a 50 feet green canvas.
Some fell asleep before crossing the finish line, one was disqualified for getting up and walking, and others saw focus stolen by their mothers, who complained about delays that kept the races going on for three hours.

Snack time: Others needed a break from all of the excitement because they were hungry

On diaper duty: The first disposable diaper wasn't made available until 1948, and Pampers wasn't debuted until 1961

Good odds: Contestants got funny nicknames, which were posted on a sign - with winning chances - next to the race, though it's unclear whether parents actually placed bets

The contestants also each had theme-appropriate nicknames, such as The Bawler, May Stop and Cry, and Heavy Load.

Those nicknames were posted on a large sign beside the racing field, which listed betting odds for the baby athletes. It's unclear if betting actually took place.
After four heats, each of the winners took home a $50 bond. Some years, the toddler titleholders also wore custom crowns - which seemed to be more of an uncomfortable annoyance for the under-two crowd than a real prize.
