Aiden is absolutely adorable. My favorite name too! Voted, commented, recommended. GL.
What I don't understand with Parents.com photo contests is why have people vote and rate photos, if it has no bearing on the judging? Here is a portion of the rules, bold is from the rules, not me. Can you explain further the purpose of voting, and if votes count, but not recommendations?
WINNER SELECTION: Visitors to the contest website will be invited to make one recommendation per day during the contest period for the entry the visitor believes should be featured on the cover of American Baby magazine.
Visitor recommendations will not be used as criteria in the judging of entries. On or about September 16, 2008, a qualified panel of judges will judge eligible entries on the basis of creativity in photo and caption’s depiction of a moment of discovery (40%), photogenic quality and appearance (60%). Five (5) grand prize winners will be selected.
