The Perfect Shot

Sometime around June, I had this crazy idea that I wanted to enter Zach into the Babytalk cute baby contest. Not really becuase I thought he was the cutest baby in the world (although I might actually think that), but because all the semi-finalists got a free trip to NYC.. and I thought I might have a shot at one of those spots.. and when have I ever passed up the idea of a free trip??

However, I also knew that I couldn't submit just any old shot.. it had to be the cutest one I could get which had to include a huge smile and those big blue eyes. So.. I spent the next month taking pictures at least every other day in hopes of getting that one perfect shot. Which, I finally did, exactly 2 days before the entry deadline.. When I finally went back and looked at all of them, I decided that, if nothing else, I got a lot of terribly cute pictures. Here are some of the 'losers':



And the winner:



As for the contest.. the semi-finalists were supposedly notified by August 13th.. and, unelss my notice got lost in the mail or on my answering machine, it looks like we didn't make it. Better luck next time, eh?
