There is almost nothing cuter than watching the 1D boys in their "One Thing". We say almost because this new video featuring babies as Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis and Zayn is SO adorable! The kids in the vid look SO much like their older British counterparts -- we're lovin' it.

Check out the vid here:

Compare that with the original music video:
