Contest

I was never interested in Baby Contests before Isaac's arrival for obvious reason. I always thought that parents being parents will always be bias and will naturally find their own baby cute. I even told the Mrs once that babies are actually quite ugly during their first few hours after been born. Only parents will claim that they are beautiful. Honestly I did not find Isaac beautiful when he was born because how could I when he was bluish right? Maybe this is a Mother's thing.

These days it is a different story of course. Since he has learnt how to coo, smile, laugh and respond to our voices and facial expressions, he has definitely become cuter. And I have not even gotten down to his physical attribute such as his size yet. But signing him up for a contest was never really in my mind. That was until a reader suggested that we do it.

Last week The Mrs was just reading through the comments that you ladies have posted and she came across Astee's suggestion in Kidnapped that we should sign Isaac up for Baby Contests. Since she was already at the laptop she signed him up on MumCentre's Picture of the Week contest right away. With just a few click of the mouse and some input from the keyboard Isaac's picture was submitted.

When we were asked to insert friends and relatives emails so that they will be notified and cast their bias votes (it wasn't really phased this way of course), I told the Mrs to let's leave them out of it. I thought we should let him win on his own merit.

So imagine my surprise when The Mrs told me today that without anyone's bias votes Isaac is already in the top 3. That got me thinking maybe we should engage some help and see if he can actually win the contest. Hence this shameless post.

When my sister learned that Isaac is in the top 3 now she protested that even though no one (including us) voted for him, he still has an unfair advantage as he is the only one baring his body. To which I replied "Hey, the end justifies the means right?! Perhaps we had a clothes malfunction that day?!"

We have submitted the topless picture so in case you would like to cast your bias votes too click here. No obligation but should Isaac win then I will again fight for lift upgrading in your area.

Besides this, we have also entered the Harvey Norman Cutest Baby Contest. What happened was we were going to print a few photos to be hung on this wall at home dedicated solely for that purpose and we learned that by printing so many pictures you can actually submit a photo for the contest without any charge. So again we submitted the same topless picture.

In case you're thinking we cannot use that one picture all the time, don't worry because we will be getting the neck float and Isaac will be going to Godma's place to swim again this Sunday. Stay tuned for more topless pictures of Isaac here.

UPDATE

Thanks to all your votes Isaac came in first from the contest! I'll make sure he learns to say "Thank You" and then post it here in the future so stay tuned!
