Yeah, definitely the airplane hold. It explains why the baby is so thrilled. Also, who dangles their child off one arm? Baby isn't close enough to be balanced on the hip.

What, you've never seen a baby with no legs before?

Yeah, that's the "Superman Baby" pose for sure.

But it is funny, once it's pointed out. Legless babies always are.

@ #7 Bellevue Ave,

I blame it on the only-stay-at-home-moms-are-good-parents-and-working-women-are-terrible movement. In their world only women are caregivers.

Or maybe it's been too many years of deadbeat daddies on Maury Povich. The editors probably figure that if they don't pay child support they're not going to buy a magazine subscription.

People, this is the airplane/Superman hold. It's not a Photoshop error. Anyone who has played with a kid instantly understands the photo. I guess digerati without kids do not...

All I see is a child cut in half.

some local rubes who have never played with kids
