BabyBlooze Buck 'up, buttercup! A collection of sad, mad, bad and completely adorable kids

Yes, it's true. BabyBlooze.com has been on a bit of a hiatus… we got our "big boy" pants on last November, moving to a self-hosted blog platform and then proceeded to take a bit of a vacation. NOT TO WORRY! We've back and ready for more Blooze… please send your photos in via the form on the site and we'll let you know when your photo is posted.

Special thanks to all of you who have encouraged me to keep bloozin'… a special shout-out to Phelan of Digithrive, my web dude and friend — and Holly of Domestic Dork, my #1 harrasser/cheerleader/fan.  

Thanks for the cute photo, Jesus! (If you want to see the "before" of this photo, check it out here).

Here we have a convincing Mini Carmen Miranda (adorned with tassles and everything!) with a look on her face that can be described as anything but jubliant. Mom chuckles thinking how her daughter will look back on this photo and be upset about the costume — I’d reckon she’ll be even more miffed when she realizes Mom shared this with the entire community of BabyBlooze!

(Thanks, Kelli! Kelli’s kids are well-documented – the good and the bad moments. Luckily for us, she is generous about sharing! Check here and here for previous photos.)

RAWR, we’re loving this fierce and feisty Tigger in all her makeup-smeared glory. Mom Rhiannon assures us that the tantrum was not long-lived; a smiling happy-go-lucky Tigger emerged just a few minutes later.

(Thanks, Riahnnon!)

Did you notice? A new screaming child is the face of BabyBlooze!

Kudos to Ashley for winning the Best Blooze of the Month contest with her adorable son’s photo of his very first haircut. She has the HONOR and PRESTIGE of having her photo featured as the official avatar of BabyBlooze.com (on Twitter and Facebook) for the month of October.

I also have a fancy new badge for Ashley (and subsequent winners) to use on their blogs.

Jealous yet? If so, submit your bloozy photos to us – you could be our next winner!

BabyBlooze Liz will be at BlogHer in Chicago this week… Drop me a line if you’re planning to be there too! I’ll be in the HP-sponsored “Business of You” track and TypeAMomfluence par-tay.
