Who Loves Baby Contest

At one of my baby showers, I received a babyproof photo album. It can be licked, gummed, and squeezed. It's really a nice invention. It holds six photos. One for Josh and me, one for Josh's family, and one for my family.

In case you're horrible at math, that leaves three pages.

I figured I could make this into a contest.

If you think your picture deserves to be in the Who Loves Baby photo album, convince me and you just may land in one of those three coveted spots.

Arguments can be put in the comments and potential photo entries can be emailed to thezapfs@gmail.com

We feel that our group picture should be in the Who Loves Baby photo album for the following reasons:

1. We love baby.

Well, really that is the only reason, but as it is also the only criteria, we feel that is sufficient. We know that the combined love of the 7 of us outweighs any single person's love by far. Our dedication to young Olivia is unequaled, and our desire to see her blossom into the wonderful young lady she one day shall become is daily at the forefront of our minds and hearts. We therefore feel it would be appropriate, and collectively would be honored to be included amongst those Who Love Baby.

Your picture is awesome, as is your explanation. However, I must mention that your picture fails to meet one qualification: It is not the correct size. It must be at least 3" by 5".

Your concern is understandable -- however, we have copies of this picture in multiple sizes, including (I think) 3x5! So worry not, we can comply with your wishes, and are always happy to do so.

Of the Taylor friends eligible, I may well have been spit up on the most. That's gotta count for something. And I've probably seen her the most too, for that matter. But I vote for the Lafayette 7. Except black out Benjamin's face. He feels no love.

Should you put a picture of Olivia in it? Just a thought. I dont know much about babies, but I do know they DEMAND attention and apparently thus must love themselves :)

Joel is right; blacking out Benjamin's face makes sense. Besides, let's face it (no pun intended) -- his visage will serve only to scare young Olivia.

Don't forget how many are in the Zapf family. They may need an extra page or two.

Can I include a picture of Paul's girlfriend, Sara?

By the way, are you coming for Thanksgiving?

Look, cover my face, fine. That I understand. Lord knows my mother has been doing it with blankets, garbage bags, etc since I was a small child. But to say I have no love? Let me give you two offerings. First, for the sole purpose of seeing this baby I drove for several days in downtown Indy, getting more horribly lost by the second. I ended up in the "rough section", had my walet stolen, my car stolen and my...I don't want to talk about this anymore. I also went to church to remedy my missing the baby before.

My second offering. If I can still be included, I submit to you the following token of our love.

Check it out

If we had our way, our entire summer would have been spent with your child's sunny presence right there in our arms. And Mitch even looks quasi-capable of protecting her from harm. (*disclaimer: this photo was created by someone with basic motor skills. Not me)

If this heart-warming moment of bliss caught on film does not deserve a spot in this hallowed collection of loving faces, I ask you, what does?
