The "Official" Cutest Baby

Our budding star was one of twelve kids between the ages of 6 months and 5 years in the New York tri-state area to be chosen to be part of the 2001 Waldbaums Pharmacy Calendar. Michael won his place in the calendar based on a photo we submitted for the category titled "Hat Trick" (the first photo shown below).

We were picked up and taken to a professional photo session at The Douglas House in Orangeburg, NY. This is an estate which is used for a lot of product photography and television commercials. There, he was made up, dressed, and photographed for what will probably be "April Showers".

The calendars should be available in December, 2000 at Waldbaums, Food Emporium, A&P, and anywhere else fine children are displayed.

This is the picture that started it all. It was taken in the middle of March. On our way to a pre-photo-shoot haircut in Port Jefferson. Hey lady -- this horn doesn't work! Don't you know who I am? After coming out of wardrobe, Michael waits patiently for his Latte. (Notice the red high-top sneakers -- very cute.)

...and on to makeup A candid moment with the stage mother before the shoot. He crossed that bridge when he came to it.
