Breaking News

Sam has now been asleep for an hour and 15 minutes. This is unprecedented in the history of napping, people. Is it the dawn of a new day? A new day in which I have an uninterrupted stretch of time during which I can do such things as shower? Catch up on work? Blog? This remains to be seen. Currently I'm just wasting the time by walking up and down the hall to his room to check on him, all the while singing (quietly) and doing jazz hands.

LIVE! with Sam...

A little guilty pleasure I've adopted while on maternity leave? "LIVE! with Regis and Kelly."

I especially appreciate their emphasis on the word "LIVE!" It's a cheery and optimistic start to my typical bleary mornings. I shall heretofore use a ton of caps and exclamation points in my blogging!

And, seriously, could Kelly be any cuter? And those guns....

Anyway, "LIVE!" is having their annual Gerber Beautiful Baby contest. And of course SAM! insists on entering. He's less interested in the grand prize ($125K college fund and a trip to "LIVE!") than he is the semifinalist prizes...a lifetime supply of BABYFOOD!

We're pretty terrible photographers, and Sam has the habit of looking like a spotlit deer in his photos, but here are a few we are considering entering. Please VOTE! Just leave a comment with your favorite photo. The photo with the most votes will be submitted. Don't deny SAM! his lifetime supply of babyfood. He's a hungry boy.
