These pictures are so cute. #11 was my favorite!
Make the cuteness stop; my insides are going all squishy! Great pictures!
Wow, if I wasn’t a finalist, I would have a VERY hard time choosing who to vote for. Very cute pictures!
Thanks so much for including me! I know a little boy that would love a new bedroom set!
Phooey. I was so hoping that we would be chosen as a finalist–great choices–it will be hard to vote for just one.
Thank you so much for including us (#8)!
OMG yes! All of them are perfect. I don’t have any pictures that could compete with those.
Nell
Well, I voted for MyLife cause her little one is sleeping on the same turtle my little boy was sleeping on in my entry!!!
Sad we weren’t picked, but I must say, some of these are pretty cute!!!
Oh my are we excited our daughter got picked! We are #10 MamaMoose. Maddie has been home from China for 9 months, loves her crib, but would love this set more!
Thanks for picking us!
What a great idea to have a competition like this! I am so glad I am not the one to choose the best. They are all so adorable and capture the moment so well. I also got some ideas for future baby pictures for the constant flow of orphan babies we take care of here. Without a doubt my heart is with the Chinese girls.
It was hard to choose just one!
Wow! There were so many great entries.
We are excited to be #12 on the list (the boy in the monkey pajamas).
If you get a chance, click my name and read the blog post about this picture. It was almost a 2 week effort to take this photo but it was a lot of fun.
Good luck to everyone!
We are so excited to have been picked (#11)!!! Thank you.
Had to choose #8. I can’t resist a little tooshy in the air! Absolutely loved when my little ones slept like that. Every once in a while, I’ll catch my 4 yr. old sleeping like that and it brings back baby memories!! Great choices- it was hard to pick one! Jen
I am still in shock that we were picked as a finalist #9, Thank you for considering us! What is funny is that I had just said the day before that my kids never fall asleep sitting up!
I don’t think I even know enough people to get enough votes so I have to leave it in God’s hands and pray that if it His will for her to have this bedroom set, then we will be blessed to receive it and give Him all the glory!
I love orange, so I had to vote for the cutie in orange at my life.
#10
I’m voting for #10 because I know how much praying and hard work went into getting this little angel over here to her adoptive mommy.
#8 – Keli at Twelve Paws! I had surfed the entries before the finalists were announced and read this story behind the picture. I can *totally* understand the desperation in trying to get them to sleep, and loved the pic. Good luck!
Oh yeah, not to mention the cloth diapered booty in the air!
I am so honored to be chosen as a finalist, as well. We are a homeschool, single income family, struggling so hard right now to make ends meet. Just to be chosen as a finalist today has uplifted my spirits more than words can say! It’s definitely been something to SMILE about.
So thank you!
We’re #20 – which I’ve entitled “Cowgirl Dreams”. Pop over to my blog and read the story about my little cowgirl.
Wow!! I was sooooo excited when I got online tonight and noticed the most recent post on 5minutesformom! Then when I scrolled down and saw that I was a finalist (#5), I pretty much flipped out!! I’ve never won anything, or even been a finalist for anything like this. My boys would be BEYOND excited if we won! This is something we could never afford ourselves but we would definitely put it to good use!
Thank you 5mintuesformom for chosing me as a finalist!
#18 is my favorite…the story behind it is so beautiful!
But seriously…this contest is making me go all fuzzy and sentimental!
WoW….I had a HARD time choosing one!! They’re all too too cute!!
What a joy to be chosen as a finalist (#13). It’s so hard to pick a favorite picture when you have 3 wonderful boys…and they are all angels when asleep. I appreciate your votes.
Oh.My.Gosh! How do you choose between these beauties! They are all so great!
Wow! So excited to be on the list of finalists! My sleeping beauty (#7) clutching his precious “Buhwiteyear” could sure use that bedroom set! Thank you for all your votes!
Voted for Caroline!!

I tried to vote and couldn’t! Why not? Am I missing where to go vote?
I can’t see where to vote! I choose #10!!
VOTE for number 19!!!
Ok she is mine:) and could really use her own bed!
The vote button is after the list of photos. But once you have voted once on your computer, then it will just show results.
Only one vote per computer is allowed.
I realize it says 1 per computer, but my wife voted on her laptop, I’m on the desktop and I no longer can see the vote section. Could it be 1 per wireless network within a residence?
I tried to vote and couldn’t, so here’s my vote… #18, Kaden. Go to his mom’s blog and look at the story, such an amazing little boy and such a sweet sleeping picture!
My vote goes to #19 because she is as about as beautiful as they come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#18 gets our family vote! The story behind the picture is so heart touching! To Kaden and his family- You have been through so much already– GOD BLESS YOU! We hope you win!!
