Here she comes.....

....Miss Julia.










We entered Julia in a local baby contest last night. It was not at all what I expected. There were only 10 kids in the entire competition and all but 2 were boys.


Being the only one in her age group, Julia took home the trophy and tiara. She also was presented with a trophy for the prettiest eyes. We don't have any pictures of her on stage so you'll have to take my word for it that she was adorable bopping to the music and hamming it up for the judges. Part of the prize package is a photo shoot with a fashion photographer - the catch? - he's in Chicago. Her entry fee into the state competition is also covered. It's hard to know if we should keep pursuing a modeling career for her when she didn't have any competition last night. She's young enough to not care one way or another. She was happy with her shiny new "toys".
