Warning: Cuteness overload on this page.

Last week, we asked Mashable readers to share their most-adorable photos of babies. Parents captured special moments of their kids, both candid and posed. Some were able to catch that innocent smile, heart-melting yawn or stretch on camera. Others used a more shallow depth of field to concentrate on their baby's little hands and feet.

The 500 submissions we received in this round of our Mashable Photo Challenge highlight the beauty and innocence of infants and toddlers. These images remind us to preserve the fleeting early years of a child's life, before it's over.

Scroll through our featured picks, below, and check out the rest of the submissions, here. Again, we're warning you: The cuteness factor is off the charts.
