    The final push is paying off. #19 has pulled into a slight lead!

  2. Brian   -  

    #19 is gaining on the lead. Only 4 votes currently separating 1st and 2nd!

  3. Brian   -  

    Less than a hour and a half to go and #4 Mama is quite handily pulling away from the pack. #19 Little Red Balloon and #16 Brother Love are holding for a strong 2nd and 3rd, respectively. The battle for 4th and 5th remains too close to call between #’s 3, 13, 17, and 18 all separated by a mere 3 votes. Time for one last push!

  4. Brian   -  

    We have a new leader! #4 Mama has pulled into the lead with 68 votes, #19 Little Red Balloon has slipped to 2nd with 62, #16 Brother Love holds on at 3rd. #3 Grandpa’s Truck made gains to make it onto the leader board at 4th with 38, while #17 Merry slips to 5th. Actual votes counts are posted. Less than 6 hours left!

    Alright the morning update. Actual vote count is posted on the contest page. 1st, #19 Little Red Balloon; 2nd, #16 Brother Love; 3rd #4 Mama.

  9. Brian   -  

    Just realized I missed a leader! #17 is tied for third with #4. Sorry!

  10. Brian   -  

    Update: Change in the standings! #16 Brother Love and #19 Little Red Balloon are tied for the lead at 38 with #4 Mama in third at 30. Several others are trailing just behind in the high 20’s. Keep em coming. Spread the word!

  11. Brian   -  

    Overnight voting has pushed #19 Little Red Balloon into a one-vote lead over #16 Brother Love with #17 Merry just two votes behind that. It’s a tight race. You can see the actual results on the contest page.

  12. Brian   -  

    #14 Going Places just got a nice bump to be in a tie for 2nd!

  13. Brian   -  

    contest update: #7 Ivy & Bean is still in the lead, but #13 Sugar is right on its tail. #6 Pure and #9 Mischievous are still holding their own as well! Keep it coming!

Carefree in my favorite goggles. Bay Area photographer.

March 19, 2010 – 9:39 pm

I just laugh and love kids who have a “goggle thing”. My daughter, Lydia, is a goggle-girl and she runs around the house all decked out in tutus, crowns and, of course, goggles. This little man’s mama answered my call for all goofy goggle loving kids. Throw in his pinwheel and how much fun are these?

Love me some cute kiddos in PJ’s and kiddos on the bed. Just so sweet, innocent and pure. We had so much fun at Baby Buzz this month, capturing some adorableness for some lucky families. Here is your sneak peek (sorry so close to your galleries are sent, we’ve been working feverishly to get them all ready for you!) I will add the other kids soon!
