DS1 is definitely more objectively 'handsome' than DS2, with his big super dark brown eyes and dark hair. But, DS2 is cute, in a chunky, devilish, ginger way!

Of course. We get a lot of model comments about M, but I'm sure a lot of that has to do with the long curly red hair. S is constantly smiling so that makes him even cuter.

I thought E was a super cute newborn because I think that most newborns are not lol.. now that she is older and a toddler, she has much more competition most toddlers are adorable. she has some beautiful eyes though which i think could put her in the model category.
DS1 and DS3 are quite good looking but who knows if it will last. DS3 is actually remarkably good looking - we get stopped a lot. But kids tend to grow out of the cuteness/good looks I find. Like they're all 'pretty' until 5 or 6. My nephew was gorgeous until he was 8 or 9. At 15 he is unrecognizable from that kid.
DS2 is not traditionally good looking or handsome but he's got serious swagger and a head full of blonde curls. So I think he's cute but he's not conventionally cute.
ETA: my twin sister and I were really beautiful around 5 or 6. My mom was stopped a few times and asked if we would model but we refused. By 7/8 we were just average looking. I guess? How do you say a bit pretty but nothing exceptional without sounding like an ass.
I was not a cute baby. I can look back on photos and see that quite objectively. H, on the other hand, was a gorgeous baby and child. I think DS takes more after him, but DS also has my RBF. He's gorgeous when he smiles, but his default face is kind of skeptical.
I think they are on the high end of average. DS1 has such gorgeous eyes and I just think DS2 is so darn cute. But I have seen plenty of babies that I think are just as cute/cuter (@natariru, your boys are gorgeous).
I think she's cuter than other kids, but not EVERY other kid. So I guess she's above average in cuteness. But combine looks with personality and she's the winner all around.
Eta: and her hair grew in amazingly well. She never went through an awkward mullet stage. It's got naturally perfect face framing layers and a pretty dimension of blonde streaks. When she lets me brush it, of course
DD1 has always been gorgeous and is incredibly photogenic. I think most people would objectively agree. If we weren't so far inland, we would've been interested in signing her up with am agency.
DD2 is two. She has interesting eyes and a beautiful smile.
I do think DD is the cutest and has the looks to be a model (though not the personality - she's fearful of strangers and hates sitting still). But I recognize that I'm biased. I do get a lot of comments from strangers on how pretty she is, but I would imagine most parents of babies/toddlers do.
Agreed with previous poster say how cute your kid is but show a picture! I'd like to see some cuties. I think my DS is cute but average like the boy next door at 6.5. My dd is 4 and I think she is super beautiful, but she rarely lets me fix her hair and is a bit of a Tim boy so sometimes I think people miss some of her cuteness. I would post a snap of dd but have no idea how

Agreed. I think that there is something about babies and toddlers that make strangers want to comment on them...I would imagine that every single parent has had a stranger stop to tell them how cute their baby is.
Now that she has grown into her nose, yes. When she was a newborn, I was really distressed about the size of her nose. Poor kid. According to my family, she's basically the cutest baby in existence right now.

Dd1 is very cute, she has pretty eyes and great colour hair. Dd2 has gorgeous eyes and lashes but unfortunately her stork bite is all you see now. It makes me sad because I totally notice the lack of comments about her cuteness compared to dd1.
That said, I think they are both so cute. I think dd1 could have been a baby model for sure, now not so much but still very cute.
I'm not huge into other people's kids in general but I definitely see kids that are cuter than mine on gbcn and real life.
I think my oldest is cute but not gorgeous as a tween. I think her hair & personality made her really adorable as a baby/toddler. I think my 2nd is still really pretty as a tween but not head turning so. She had extraordinary eyes/eyelashes as a baby/toddler which made her stand out. She did not have a cute personality. These 2 were cute enough to be models because well...they had an agent/modeling agency for years. I was constantly stopped & told how beautiful they are when we were out.
DD3, don't think she was very cute as a baby. She was cute as a toddler. As a kid, she is average I think. But I think she may end up the prettiest adults of my kids. She's got navy blue eyes, just the right amount of freckles on pale skin & dark hair. I just like that combination. Her personality is not endearing like my DD1 & DD4s personality. DD4 was a cute baby & now is a cute toddler but not unusually so...she's HILARIOUS though. God that kid makes me happy.
I am still stopped fairly often and told that I have beautiful girls, especially when they are all together (so we get a fair amount of attention by just the number)....it makes me feel weird now. I don't really know what to say except a dismissive thanks. It's like I don't want people judging us, good or bad when we are just existing in public.

I thought DS1 was the cutest baby EV-AR... And then I had DD and think she's about the cutest ever! Her twin is also adorable but in a totally different way. My grandmother calls DD a doll baby lol. So I guess I'm more subjective now? I definitely see cuteness in other babies/kids but am also biased towards my own. There's probably some evolutionary explanation that we all think our kids are pretty cute.
DS was such an adorable newborn and is a gorgeous toddler. Like I can't believe he is ours - I really think he is exceptional looking. He did go through an awkward phase between 4 and 8ish months where H and I joked he looked like a potato.
DD is almost 6 months and I think she is adorable, but objectively, she is probably an average looking baby.

Both have good/ bad phases for sure! DD1- was kind of a funny looking baby looking back. But around 14 months- now (3) she turned gorgeous. I think it's because she has a round cherub face, gorgeous blonde curls, and bright green eyes. She is very cute/pretty.
Poor DD2 was a funny looking baby until 9 months. She was 99% in height and 15% in weight until around 9 months where she finally got chunky. As a newborn she has bones with skin on them, it was sort of sad . Now at 16 months, she is adorable. She has very fine features and a very pretty smile. He hair curls in the back so no toddler mullet, she's lucky she has curls but no frizz like DD 1.
so Yes, I think my children are super cute, but they defintely had akward phases. Here are my gorgeous kids
Yes, I think my kids are adorable. DS1 is outgrowing his "cute kid" features, and I have to say now that he's lost some teeth he's much less "cute." DS2 and DS3 are still gorgeous IMO. Total model material

I do think my kids are pretty adorable but yeah, my view is colored by mom bias. DS needs a haircut pretty badly, which I can't quite bring myself to do yet, so that may be knocking him down a few notches right now. Both do receive a lot of comments in public about their white-blonde hair.
