Chinese babies, accompanied by their parents, take part in a baby swimming contest at a stadium in Beijing on Sept. 11, 2010. The organizer hopes to break the Guinness World Record for the most babies swimming together. China's government maintains that the one child policy has averted 400 million births since the strict policy was implemented in 1979. The government has vowed to enforce the policy until at least 2033, when the population is expected to peak at 1.5 billion.

Chinese baby float

Am I the only one who thinks that Guinness keeps track of some pretty strange things?

Those little cheeks! My baby hated floatation devices. I tried them all. He would scream. We'd end up holding him the whole time. Then he got tall enough to reach the bottom and he was off. He's four now. He's swimming in the deep end and giving me little heart attacks every time we're at the pool.

      Um, there are some floats back there without babies!

      I don't like the whole "striving for Guinness records" thing, especially when it involves kids.

        Oh!! Communists are soo cute when they are little. It's hard too imagine they will label The United States their biggest threat when they are of age. Sooo cute though!!!
