It's newborns for me. The newer, the better.

Two year olds. They say and do the cutest things.

Angelinthenightx · 23/02/2019 16:18

Newborn but also age 5 they say & do cute funny things.

Cheekychops73 · 23/02/2019 16:19

When they are sleeping Grin.

My Dc4 is 6 and I love this age.

EmmaJR1 · 23/02/2019 16:19

Oh god not 2! Well maybe 2 but they are also awkward and annoying 😂
Although my 21 mths old son keeps putting both hands to his cheeks and saying "oh no!" Very dramatically when The twirly wood ends. 😂

At any age as long as you catch them in the right mood! I think about three or four generally though, definitely old enough to talk. I find babies fairly dull tbh.

Juanbablo · 23/02/2019 16:21

Between 9 and 18 months. So cute.

NabooThatsWho · 23/02/2019 16:21

3-4 year olds. They are hilarious and not quite so dependent.

FlowerInTime · 23/02/2019 16:23

That's adorable EmmaJR1. He sounds so precious.

When they’re being kind.

villainousbroodmare · 23/02/2019 16:24

Definitely before their cheeks thin down! I love a pillowy cheek!

DistressedAndWorried7845 · 23/02/2019 16:25

When they’re in the womb

SinisterBumFacedCat · 23/02/2019 16:25

DS is 8 now and I still find him ridiculously cute. I don’t know when he will loose his cuteness.

SisterOfDonFrancisco · 23/02/2019 16:25

I've got a 10 month old, she's definitely in a super cute stage. Demanding but cute. 5 year old is more funny than cute.

I want somebody to say teenage years or 30's are cute!!!!!!

Igottastartthinkingbee · 23/02/2019 16:26

Yep, definitely agree with the when they’re asleep! But also 18 months when they’re learning to talk and 3-4yrs is pretty cute too. Saying that DS is nearly 7 and he can be ridiculously cute sometimes!

Iggly · 23/02/2019 16:26

My 9 year old is cute especially when singing along to his favourite songs and getting the words all wrong but still belting it out earnestly in front of the mirror 😍

Chelseajunior · 23/02/2019 16:27

Whenever they start taking I think is the cutest!

icannotremember · 23/02/2019 16:28

When they are asleep

chocolatebuttonsandcheese · 23/02/2019 16:29

I think 10 months plus are adorable

TheyGotMyName · 23/02/2019 16:29

When they are asleep.....particulary when they are 11 and hitting puberty like my dss

Pythonesque · 23/02/2019 16:32

My two have both been choristers, first at our local church and then in "serious" choirs. I'd say that it's quite hard to beat a 6-10 year old singing in a cassock, for cuteness!

Someone asked about teenagers - well, that's how old mine are now, and I have to admit I'm pushing it to say cute is the right word any more. But they both still sing and when they occasionally sing together it is really something special. (even though the youngest now sings bass ...)

Whocansay · 23/02/2019 16:35

Any age can be cute if they're my children Wink

I reserve the right to change my mind when they become teenagers.

SmarmyMrMime · 23/02/2019 16:37

My 5 yo can still do cute much of the time. He's baby-faced and has an easy, innocent charm while being articulate and confident. Blond curls help! He took his "babies out in the pram the other day... he then pulled out a nerf gun to restore the balance Grin

8yo is cute when asleep. DS2 has held the advantage a lot longer than DS1 who is a much more earnest, serious personality.

CarrotCakeMuffins · 23/02/2019 16:46

DS4 when at the dentist - the dental nurse said he's so cute he makes her feel broody and she doesn't even want children.

pinkrockinghorse · 23/02/2019 16:52

For me it's between roughly 8 months (when they're chubby, and sitting around clapping their chubby hands and you can kiss their chubby little cheeks Grin and about 3 years. After that, mine have gone all gangly rather than chubby! Also, they start talking 'properly' Sad Grin Still cute, to me, of course... but yeah, 8m to 3y.
