No. I think it's just me.

I kid!

Now, as an older toddler, he's still completely adorable but objectively speaking, not as remarkable as when he was a baby. He's still the cutest to me, though! As someone who's always been homely I shamefully admit it's a huge point of pride for me.

My son was a totally gorgeous toddler and is now less cute as a preschooler. Of course I adore him but I can tell objectively that he isn't as cute as he used to be and as you said, I'm ashamed to even notice!! I didn't realize I cared so much.

Mine aren't babies anymore, but yes to me they were the cutest I thought no baby could be cuter than my daughter, but then along came my son, and he is objectively better looking than his older sister. I adore them both and think they are perfect, but my son is more traditionally good looking. Who knows though some of the "weirdness" of DD's features may make her more stunning as an adult.

I am wondering if we are programmed to believe that our child is the cutest.

I think we might be! When DD was born (my first born), I was over-the-moon infatuated with how beautiful and perfect she was! I could not get over it, I could sit and watch her for hours and never get tired of how cute she was!

As an exhausted and FTM I fell for the photographer who came into my hospital room to take pictures. I ordered a huge package of them, convinced that I would send them out to hundreds of people who would immediately see what I saw -- the most beautiful baby ever born!

There was a delay getting the pictures back and it wasn't until she was about 3 months old that I finally saw them for the first time. I burst out laughing because the image I had in my memory of her as a newborn and the image right before me in the photo were almost polar opposites... wow was she ugly!!!

But she's 19 now and truly a pretty woman, so I guess she grew into her looks.

I sing my baby the Magnetic Fields song every night:

You may not be beautiful, but it's not for me to judge
I don't know if you're beautiful because I love you too much.

That said, she really is the most beautiful baby

I was just talking to my husband about this. I am wondering if we are programmed to believe that our child is the cutest. I honestly believe that my toddler is one of the most attractive children I have ever seen. I can't get over it. Other compliment him too but I am pretty sure that my bias has completely overwhelmed my perspective on this. I just can't believe DH and I made such am incredibly awesome little person.

Stop drinking the koolaid you self hating idiot. Blake Griffin shoots that theory way down. This racially ambiguous standard of beauty they are pushing on us is stupid and just plain wrong.

This. My youngest is totally gorgeous but a lot of it is personality. He lights up the room.

My middle daughter is and was stunningly beautiful. My oldest was cute and chubby but not gorgeous. My son is also cute but has the best disposition and is so much cuter because of it.

My baby was objectively adorable. We had lots of friends saying things like, "I'm not a baby person, but your baby is adorable." She is a super-cute toddler as well. Who knows how long it will last, but for now, yes, she actually is the cutest baby we know.

My DD is 2yo. All races talk about how cute my child is- men and women. As a newborn she had a smushed face and scaly skin. By 2 months her cuteness broke through. Perfect features.

DD was insanely cute as a baby, strangers would stop me while walking in Georgetown, people knicknamed her the Gerber baby. She looks nothing like me, at all. Looks exactly like her father. She was also super smiley which I believe really helps.

DS looked like an old man the first year of his life. And he was cranky and always had a facial expression that he looked constipated. He was no where as cute as his sister

yes. without a doubt.
