Parents playing with babies and babies crying

They say babies can feels the emotions their moms feel, so whether you are happy, sad or nervous, it can easily rub off on your little one. Most of the time it reflects when a mom is anxious about her baby, and the infant demonstrates the same behavior as his parent. But this is something we have never seen before!

Baby Joshua just turned a year old and his acting talent is amazing! While sitting down on the couch with his mom, pacifier in mouth, dad initially shows that Joshua is actually a pretty happy kid. They play the peek-a-boo, which makes baby Joshua giggle so adorably, makes us want to pinch those bright pink cheeks.

But then it is mom’s turn to show us what little Joshua can do, so she covers her mouth, squints her eyes and starts pretend crying in front of him. The baby’s face changes in an instant.

First, he just makes crying noises and very believable at that, but when the camera zooms in on his bright red face that used to be a healthy pink color, we can see the glimmer of a single tear forming in the corner of his eye. Poor guy, we hope he didn’t get too convinced of mom’s sorrow.

If he keeps this up, he will earn his Oscar sooner than you think!
