My thoughts, FWIW, is that you should not submit anything personal that will be accessible by everyone on the Internet. I would try to stick to contests run by companies like Gerber or someone like that. There are too many people these days who use pictures off the Internet for scams, all of the "I'm stranded in West Africa, I love you, send me money" come to mind. I could imagine someone using a baby's picture for a "send money for therapy for this child" scam. Not that you would be responsible, but you might not want your child's picture used in the manner. And there are a lot of predators out there, and the schemes get more complex every day. But, I'm an older mother, I'm 57 with a grown son, so maybe I'm just being cautious. But, do bask in the glow of pride when anyone tells you your son is cute. When he gets into the carrying worms and frogs stage you will have good memories of these days, lol.
