My Angel!!!

I don't think they were talking about the candy when they called it
"Fun Dip".

These are her new angry eyebrows... any time we say "Don't give me 'tude!!" This is what we get.

Riding around with Papa!!! She's getting REALLY good at hanging on for piggyback rides. The other day I was working out and she wanted to be held so I threw her on my back and started doing squats!!!

Definitely breaking the rules... There are VERY few places she can't climb on her own these days.

Just hanging out!!!

She's already trying to sneak out of the house.....

LOVES talking on the phone!!!

Can't get enough of the good stuff!!!

Hates just having to sit around....

She's wonderful!!!!

Sorry to keep you waiting... The photo has been submitted!!!!

We got the photo in Thursday afternoon and we chose photo #7. I cropped it a little tighter because she was mid diaper change and I didn't want someone to notice that. You can still kind of tell her shirts pulled up but I think it's okay. Here's how we submitted it.



I really liked it but didn't know if others would too. I'm really glad you all helped us pick!!! You're all AMAZING!!!!

Here's what we're waiting for. This is from the website... "The ten (10) semi-finalists pictures will appear on LIVE and on LIVE’s website on or about the week of March 9, 2009. Viewers will have the chance to vote on-line for five (5) of the ten (10) semi-finalists. Only one (1) entry will be accepted per registered e-mail address. The Viewers will be told on air when the on-line voting will begin and end. The five (5) finalists receiving the most individual votes will be invited to appear on the program."

I still think it's a long shot that we'll hear back but I'll keep you all posted either on Facebook, by email, or on this thing. I think they said that they'll start notifying the contestants by about March 2. We'll see what happens. If we do get lucky and are picked I'll need ALL of your help again spreading the word about voting. We'll see how it goes... I think it would be a blast!!!

Thanks again for all of your help!!! Keep you fingers crossed!!!!

I need your help!!!!

So I'm going to be putting Riann in the "Regis and Kelly Live" cutest baby contest. I've been waiting to do this for about a year now. She was too young to enter last year. We have to put in her entry my 5 pm Friday and I need help. I've think it would be really cool to do because well.... like most mothers I think I have the most BEAUTIFUL baby in the world AND the grand prize is the chance to appear on the cover of Parenting Early Years & win $125,000 towards a college scholarship. The runner up prizes are an additional $100,000 will be divided amongst the 4 runners-up, to be used toward a college education, And, all 10 of the semi-finalists will be awarded a year's supply of Gerber products. Can't say and of that wouldn't help. I know it's a long shot because there are going to be SOOOO many babies but I want to give it a try. It never hurts to put in the effort right?!

So here's the delema... I don't know what photo to submit. The rules are that the photo has to be taken with in the last month and must not be from a professional. That kind of limits us to photos because we haven't taken many since we've been home from our trip to WA for Christmas. We REALLY want to showcase Riann's eyes but once again that limits the pictures we can use. I was hoping if I put a few that we are thinking about on here you guys can tell us which you like best... so here it goes.

Let me know!!!
