Vote!

I recently submitted a few photos of Julian into the "American Baby Cover Contest" sponsored by Parents magazine. I guess they take a bunch (like 3000!!?) of photos submitted each week and put them into a Photo of the Week contest. You don't win anything, but it's still fun. If the ranking of the photos is how I think it is, we're pretty much at the end of the bunch, but feel free to put in a vote for him anyhow if you're reading this! :) I think he's darn cute...and this just happens to be my most recent favorite photo of him. Here's the link to vote...you have through February 28th!

As an afterthought, I'm sitting here watching (and I use that term loosely) the show "Little Miss Perfect". I find this show to be somewhat of a bad accident...I think it's horrendous, yet I can't look away. Every time Eddie and I find ourselves watching it, I reiterate the fact that I would never, NEVER put any future daughter through that and how I think it's bordering on sick and wrong. (If you're not familiar with the show, it involves young girls participating a beauty pageant aptly titled "Little Miss Perfect Pageant"). And yet...as I'm sitting here perusing the internet for cute baby photo contests, I have to wonder if I'm not just as bad as these parents who spend thousands of dollars for their child to win a crown made out of plastic and rhinestones. Hmmm. Maybe not 'exactly' like those parents...but it's close enough to seem just a wee bit ironic.

At least there are no fake eyelashes and spray tan involved.
