Court and I decided last night to begin a Baby of the Week contest. Best sleeper, eater and overall behaved baby will take home the crown and gain the coveted acknowledgedment on the refrigerator. While Connie will be placing her vote at close of business on Friday, Courtney, Austin and I will each vote Sunday evening. This will come as an absolute shock to those who know the trips well, but little Ryleigh Roo may have a slight lead and seems to be inching away from Cayden. Cayden is pretty much baby of the year and has no peers......my sisters nearly ripped his left arm off when it was time to choose a baby for an overnight stay in November. However, Rye has cleaned up her act this week, big-time. She has slept later, ate better, and required a little less attention.....not to mention she has far and away the best hair. I even tested her tonight by putting her in her crib while wide awake.....and we didn't have to return (crossing fingers as of 11:00pm). Gabe appears to be teething and dropped out of the contest within 45 minutes.
Stay tuned as this epic battle continues.....
On a side note, i was preaching to Courtney this evening how Rye was a serious contender for the baby of the week. Shortly thereafter, Austin proclaimed that his sister was "not a chicken tender." I gazed at him dumbfounded as the dots were not connected right away, until Courtney figured out that he thought I said his baby sister was a "chicken tender", not a contender. Maybe, you had to be there.......
More blog updates forthcoming........soon.
