And in a landslide victory, my [daughter](http://s181.photobucket.com/albums/x90/Dob1670/?action=view¤t=IMG_0568.jpg) is the winner! I know what you’re thinking; “Dob, their are millions of babies in the world how could yours (no matter how freakin cute) have won such a contest?” Good question, and one I would expect from the parents of a baby who came in second, and I wont lie… it wasn’t easy. Their were some voting issues, the first vote count was 4-0 in favor of, but after careful review we realized me and the wife voted twice. So we had to do it over again! Elections are tricky! This time however, we had two grandparents and a Aunt, count and confirm the vote. All 3 concluded that everything was done on the up-and-up, and the title of “Cutest Baby” was conferred. Now I know that some parents on this board will be disappointed with the outcome. Everyone had their own favorites after all, but I think if you review the evidence (see pic above) and step back and review all the facts i think you will see this was done as fairly as possible (given that we only had access to our own baby). Of course I **expect** last minute entries and protests, but I feel certain that the fair, honest, and discerning folks here on the SDMB will back me up 🙂 ---

She is cute, but the only reason she one was because my [nephew](http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f380/nemph99/?action=view¤t=07-16-2006112323AM.jpg) was a late entry. It’s not his fault, he didn’t even know about the contest till the day after. The contest information was in a basement room in a locked filing cabinet with a sign on the door that said, “Beware of cougar.” ---

She’s very cute. But my baby has held the title of cutest girl ever since January 2003. I will allow you the title of cutest girl under 4 - but that is all I am willing to compromise. ---

Good Lord, **Dob** , that is one adorable kid. Whaddaya say, **Poysyn**? We’ll give her first place in the 2-4 age group? (Seeing as how “under two” [is taken](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Shayla&mode=&start=180&pic=Shayla210.JPG&picindex=209)) 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Dob] Well actually she is under two still (18months)… sooooo… [/QUOTE] Uh oh… Ahh, very good then…she can certainly claim the “Under 19 Months” award then. Congratulations! Damn glad this isn’t really a competition. That is one amazingly cute little one you’ve got there. I’d have to play the quasi-legal [“Baby _and_ puppy”](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Cheryls%20Baby%20Shower&mode=&pic=CBS27.JPG&picindex=25) card to try and compete. 😃 ---

Well, assuming Grandkids count (and of course they do!) I think I’ve got the 24 month catagory all to myself.

All the submissions so far peg the squee meter. I haven’t seen any cuter babies, but please consider my submission to the _negative_ months category. [Baby Abigail just entered the outside world on Monday, and I haven’t seen her yet, but I’ll put her in as a contender based on Mommy’s smiles and freckles alone.](http://www.flickr.com/photos/beaucarnea/sets/72157601346372136/) ---
