[quote=Anonymous]It's hard as a parent to not think your little one is the cutest thing ever.  Besides the obvious being blinded by love reasons, I think we associate how they look with the total love we feel for them based on personality, changing expressions, etc.

We knew before having our first that all newborns are really not that cute - really, they aren't.  Many will get pretty cute (more "Gerber"-ish) by 6 months or so, but objectively, newborns are NOT the cutest form of baby.  Some look pretty good for newborns - but they are all basically funny looking little aliens.  Then we had our first baby and decided that she bucked the trend, and was objectively attractive for a newborn.  We looked back at the pictures and realized we were love-blinded idiots; she was as funny-looking (perhaps more so!) as the rest of 'em!  Same thing happened with our second, even though we should have known better.  Now that they are pre-schoolers, we think their looks have improved, but we definitely know that they are out-cuted by lots of other kids.  We still think they are pretty cute, because they are ours, but we can tell a cuter kid when we see one.  We don't think they're ugly, however, and I wonder if any parent could admit that they have an ugly child?  We all know there are ugly children out there - but I honestly couldn't tell you if mine fit that description.  Sigh, blinded by love.[/quote]
