Why are babies so gorgeous?

[fizzbuzz]

Have just been on newborn thread. Am also totally infatuated with dd age 7 months.

Can't decide whether it is squidgy little legs, impish little grin, one (only the one little tooth) little cooing noises, gorgeous smell or overall cuteness.

Anyone else?

It's their job!

Yes, but evolution has excelled itself here!

Because otherwise we'd hate them and shove them under the stairs because of the sleep deprivation, the crying... One s*dding smile and you forget what they did. Bah!

my 13 month old is edible.

i love it when she gets excited and she starts that excited baby breathing.

Yes, I agree with Soupy. It's nature's way of ensuring you take care of them despite the crying, poo, sick, etc...

A most effective form of contraception as well which also helps each individual to survive!

ah yes, that mother nature is very very clever

yes, but what is the most gorgeous thing about them?

THe Bridge of the Baby's nose is wider, the eyes are more apart then in adults, and that apparently triggers something in our brain to find them so apealing and cute
And, iy is defiantely mother natures way to ensure that a helpless Baby is cared for no matter what

I just posted message in wrong place!

I completely agree. almost 7 month old baby, and me and her father spend most of our time going 'aw look look look' 'isnt she she adorable?', I melt whenever she smiles, she has us both completely wrapped around our fingers.
Isnt nature wonderful!

Most gorgeous thing? Wide almost perpetual crescent moon smile, sparkly eyes, gums, dumpy legs, feet. I cant pick just one!

You are conditioned to react this way Pavlovthecat.
Don't you do the same when you a little bell ring?

Thats the dog, the cat is not quite so conditioned!!

Just to babies
They should try this with cats in the lab setting, may break new scientofic ground.

Scientofic ground was a typo BTW

My typing is crap today, must proof read.

Ok made 3 changes can now click.

lol!

Babies have big eyes, short chins, small noses, a small gap between bottom of nose and upper lip and high round cheeks, and that's why we love them. The same features are also attractive in adult females. Babies are also attracted to those features in adults, and spent more time looking at pretty faces than less attractive ones.

Mine never disobeys me - she's a dream

They blow raspberries. They look like angels when they're sleeping. They clap their hands.

Even when their faces crumple before they cry, they're still pretty cute.

Mine's a bum shuffler, and she looks so cute scooting round on her plump bum.

Their fuzzy hair, the way they smile.

Aw, mine is currently sleeping with her tongue out a little , been out for a ride and still in carseat, in snowsuit which makes her look like a giant marshmallow with little pink rabbit ears! AW...

It sthose big eyes and chubby little legs. They are to die for.
