These are SO cute. All of them. Nothing is better than kids and food.
Except maybe pets and food…
What cute puppies! They’re part of the family.
Just wanted to say thanks for making Ella (#1) a finalist!!! She sure did love that Eggplant Parmesan.
All of the pictures are great…I’m glad I have a default vote! If she wasn’t my baby, I’d have a hard time choosing.
Good luck to all!
I can’t even imagine how hard it was to narrow down that group of photos to 45, then to 20! Thanks for having our photo, #4, in the final 20…how exciting!

We are so excited that Reneca made it to the finals! She really loves to cook and she is teaching Kiara some good pointers!

Hard to choose just one!
This won’t be very popular with some of the ladies, but I’ve known women in my life who believed they were God’s gift to man. But, it’s the little ones like those pictured who are truely God’s gifts They’re all sweet, but I’ve got to go with #4

I came here to vote and never had the chance. I never saw radial buttons. I only saw the results of the voting. Has anyone else had that problem?
It is so much fun to be selected as a finalist #11!! I know that I have no chance at all to win but still exciting. And it made my vote easy, otherwise I would have had trouble picking who to vote for.
Boys Rule!!!! #10
I think I did it right. Mary Lou
I vote for #2 =)
Good Luck. a Refund cents freiend.
Loved #5 Soooo Cute!
I voted for # 11–it’s defineatly a “family affair” and an age old past time in all baking-day kitchens for the kids. These 3 kids are sooo cute and beautiful. All the other pics were cute too, but these #11 kids are my favorites.
This was so much fun! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of it.
The outfit is priceless with a healthy snack very cool picture!!!!!!!!!!!1
Thanks for choosing my photo as a finalist (#10)! How exciting to just be nominated! If I wasn’t voting for myself, though, I’d have to choose #16. Good luck to everyone! Such cute pictures!
i wish my entry was selected but oh well… maybe next time.
i went for #20 … i saw her tongue and it cracked me up!
#9 is so cute! I love how the look of surprise is captured!
I immediately started laughing when I saw #10. So I had to vote for it!
They are all adorable and any of them would well represent what this contest is about. But, I have to say #1 really seems to have enjoyed her Prego spaghetti sauce as much as I do!
It was hard to choose, I’m glad I didn’t have to pick the finalists.
I voted for #9, her facial expression is priceless!
thanks for picking my picture and for all who voted for my little girl. She used to make that look when she was 11 months old and I always thought it was so funny, but I definitely got lucky by actually getting it on camera like this!
I voted for #6 and it sure was difficult…..
They are all so cute!
Such fun and hilarious photos. My vote is for #6
No 5 is so cute!
They are all so cute. I love that you can actually see her tongue licking the bowl on #20. Now THAT is a good birthday.
