Meet the Boobalah of the Year!
Every new parent thinks their baby is the cutest – but Darren and Claire Ruback are now in no doubt after their gorgeous five-week-old was crowned Boobalah Of The Year.
Little Harrison took home the coveted crown after securing 160 votes in a contest hosted by the blogger Jewish Mother on Facebook and sponsored by My1stYears.com.
Proud dad Darren, from Borehamwood, said: “We are delighted to win Jewish Boobalah of the Year! Thanks to all our friends and family for voting.
“As Harrison’s father, I have to say that I haven’t been this excited since winning my bronze 50m swimming medal in July 1996.”
The contest included boobalahs from the UK, Australia, America and Israel.
The Jewish Mother said: “All the entrants are all gorgeous. A hearty mazeltov to Harrison. I have no doubt that he and the other boobalahs will grow up to become serious mensches!”
