Contestants #7, 8, and 9

by Camille Posted on September 4, 2009

Rachel has decided to join the competition to see who knows the cutest kid in the world.  She writes:

Hey Camille,

Firstly, I would like to nominate my sister’s son and daughter:

338 Bilberry Juice 26_08_07

I love this photo as they had just eaten lots of bilberries and their expressions make me smile!

However, maybe a bit too old to compare to the current age range of nominees…?  So I also nominate one of my brother’s daughters, Annie:

Annie with the eyes

Annie with the eyes 2I think we can conclude, if nothing else, that all the children in our family have adorable eyes!

Hope you’re okay, from Rach

Rachel, what I want to know is this: Is there something in the water over there that produces such adorable children?  Or is it just the bilberries?  (By the way, what is a bilberry?  I’ve never heard of such a thing!)

Contestant #4

by Camille Posted on September 3, 2009

I said my nephew was the cutest kid in the world.  Katie begged to differ.  She writes, “I hereby submit the attached photo to you as evidence that my son, Beanie, is the cutest kid to ever walk the planet.  And I one up it by also declaring he is the smartest.  He can, after all, chew his hands.  BRILLIANT!”

I submit…

…that this…

Toddler With Nectarine

Toddler on Train Tracks

Serious Toddler

Sunlit Toddler

Grinning Toddler

…is the most beautiful, adorable, precious-in-an-utterly-squeezable-kind-of-way child ever to walk the face of the planet.  And I dare anyone to challenge it.  If you think yours (the fruit of your own loins, or that of your sibling’s/child’s/neighbor’s) can beat this, email me a photo (with permission, of course).  I’ll post it to my website and we’ll take an e-vote.

He’s the reason I will never have children of my own—they couldn’t possibly compare.

***Updated to add:

Yes!  I was hoping I’d get some takers.  These images just in from Liz:

Liz submits that her kids are cutest in all the world, but concedes that my nephew wins for his age category (he is, thus far, unopposed).
