It begins with Teddy as a tiny newborn, just six hours old. Then he becomes a slightly less tiny, always yawning, sometimes-sneezing infant. From there, his transition is mostly marked by lots of smiles and giggles and truly adorable baby clothes. You’ll see some major milestones like Teddy’s first steps, his first teeth and his first attempts at eating solid food. Teddy also gets to enjoy a pretty nice looking birthday cake. His parents [shared the recipe](http://www.bonappetempt.com/2015/01/video-teddys-birthday-vanilla-birthday.html) on the popular food blog they run called [Bon Appétempt](http://www.bonappetempt.com/). No wonder Teddy smiles so much. That cake looks epic. ### PHOTOS: See the Same Woman Photoshopped in Different Countries  Argentina (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Australia (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Bangladesh (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Philippines (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Bulgaria (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Germany (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  India (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Kenya (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Morocco (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  U.S.A.
