Baby of the Year&nbsp;Hello,
Ten years after I last gave birth, our family welcomed Mackenzie, our first baby girl. At just 3 months old, this bright-eyed Paulding County baby is competing in Colossal's Baby of the Year Competition, and our community is helping keep her journey going one vote at a time.
Mackenzie may be tiny, but her calm, curious personality and sweet smiles have a way of filling every room. Friends, relatives, and neighbors have rallied around her with daily votes and encouraging messages, turning this experience into a joyful community effort.
The competition also supports Baby2Baby, a cause that feels personal to me. As a mother of three and a mental health therapist who works with children and families, I understand how much it matters for parents to have practical support during difficult seasons. This journey is about celebrating Mackenzie while helping draw attention to families who need essential resources.
Please vote for Mackenzie at:&nbsp;<a href="https://babyoftheyear.org/2026/mackenzie-d057" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">babyoftheyear.org/2026/mackenzie-d057</a>
