Serious question:

I sometimes see Christians pray to "baby Jesus". Is there any spiritual distinction between "baby Jesus" and adult Jesus? Is one more appropriate for certain christian prayers than the other?

AFAIK, it's generally linked to the nativity celebrations, i.e. the Adoration of the Magi and the ceremonies surrounding Christmas, where Jesus is depicted as a child. Whether this hypostasis has any special powers attributed to it, I couldn't tell you off the top of my head, but if you know the denomination, I can ask colleagues who are specialists.
