babies that age should not be interested in black and white photos of old men. period. they should not know the names of presidents. period. they should be babbling.

You've overlooked the possibility of overdubbed baby voices.

If that's overdubbed it's incredibly well done. For someone who gets excited when they're (probably-older-than-that-baby) baby says "Hi," that's really creepy.

it's not overdubbed. it's:
(a) a small-for-chronological age child
with
(b) a circumscribed interest (probably a fixation on that particular book) that was likely encouraged by his parents and developed into the over-learned behavior you see in the video. he doesn't even know what a president is; he just associates words with pictures.

further evidence: there's a motor stereotypy (mostly with the left arm) that the baby engages in after he says some of the presidents' names.
