Two Georgia babies are finalists in Regis and Kelly’s $125,000 ‘Beautiful Baby’ search

It's not beneath me to show pictures of cute babies and animals when necessary. For many of you readers, it's probably an improvement over another shot of Kim Zolciak.
So here we go:
Two Atlanta babies are in the running to win $125,000 in college funds in Regis & Kelly’s annual “Beautiful Baby” contest. That might be enough to pay for a semester of college in 2028! Today, the babies and parents are in New York City getting their pictures taken for a possible cover shot in Parenting Early Years Magazine.
Here's Maggie Sue Romeo from Braselton. At age 3, she's more like a toddler but the contest does allow contestants up to the age of four.
And this is John Jeffrey Simmons of Mableton is 17 months old:
On Friday, we find out who wins. (Locally, “Regis & Kelly” airs on WSB-TV at 9 a.m.) The four runners up each get $25,000. Not bad! Plus, a year’s supply of Turtle Wax! No, no no. Gerber products.
Voting is already over after 250,000 votes, but if you want to see the top 5 finalists, go here at www.livesbeautifulbaby.com

Here were pictures taken today of the families with Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa. On top, Dana Romeo poses with her daughter and the two hosts. Below, mom Angela Simmons and Sean Simmons join John, Regis and Kelly.
