Get ready to coo "Aw!" and to squeal "They were sooo cute!" when you get a load of these utterly adorable baby pictures of 'American Idol' Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery and runner up Lauren Alaina. They were super cute tykes before they were superstars, and thanks to the 'Idol' website, we get to see that.

McCreery (joined by his older sister) was quite the butterball in the infant photo of him with a bottle in his mouth, and  those big round cheeks that you just want to squeeze or kiss. The second photo, seen below, looks more like the McCreery we encountered during his 'Idol' run -- just in "mini me" form. He's sporting a cowboy hat, a blue fringed jacket and red bandana. He was a cowboy even as a toddler. He was button-cute, too.

Alaina's baby photo shows her with a pink bow in her hair and a pale pink dress. It is the same hue as the fluffy dress she wore to the CMTs last week, so clearly, the girl has had a thing for pink at all ages. The photo of her below, taken a few years later, boasts the classic "talk to the hand pose" as she holds out her palm decisively, dressed up in a blue outfit and sporting a perky ponytail. Lauren Alaina was a diva even when she was just outta diapers.

While McCreery and Alaina are not "all grown up" by any means, as they are 17 and 16, respectively, they're certainly taking a bit leap towards adulthood with their new record deals and upcoming albums. We were excited to see these photos from a simple time, and we hope you get a kick out of 'em.
