Cute or not so cute as a baby!

(Claire), 12 July, 2011 at 16:27 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 32

The other night we chose our toddler pics to go in frames for the wedding, on comparison my h2b was definitely by a country mile the cutest, in fact I would definitely consider myself to have been a not so good looking child (my mum would kill me but then she is biest) I had the thickest mop of red hair and when I say red Chris Evans wouldnt get a look in if that wasnt bad enough I had the fattest fringe you've ever seen! Sticky out ears the lot, of course my sister who was born 12 months after me was the cutest thing you've ever seen.. how come? I obviously improved with age and have tuned into a beautiful white swan Smiley winking so who dares to admit they hated how they looked when they were little.

    Meeee! I looked like a boy until I was about 12 (nice choice of short haircut mum!) Coupled with the bizarre clothes choices my mum made - she swears the only choice back them was Laura Ashley??!

    I grew some boobs though and never looked back!

    I think I was quite a cute baby but have to admit I tend to look like I have downs sometimes (even as an adult) - thanks to my brother for pointing this out. I also tells my I look like Falkland War veteran Simon Weston. He is so nice to me.

    I actually preferred how I looked when I was little to how I did as a teen/in early 20s!

    Probably a lot to do with confidence and self esteem, but when I looked at pics of being little, I would think 'where has my cute hair and lovely skin gone?' I'd forgotten I used to think that, silly really!

    I bet what you see as mortifying though is actually really cute. Why don't you post a pic and we can tell you? ?

    I will admit to being a baby munter. Honestly, I don't know how the visiting rellies didn't recoil in horror at this thing my parents had produced. They redeemed themselves with my younger brother though, who was an adorable baby. My father will hear none of this and maintains I was the most beautiful little girl he'd ever clapped eyes on. He clearly didn't have his specs on for the first year of my life. (My mother has always maintained a diplomatic silence on the matter)

    I was cute.

    There are photos of me from around 3yo and I have changed very little facially since then!

    I don't know about cute but I was fat. Very fat. My siblings (delightfully) nicknamed me the Michelin Tyre kid as I had so many rolls of fat I resembled the character from the adverts! ?

    This has just made me snort.

    I think I was a relatively cute baby. Quite chubby though. Then got so skinny during my childhood and teens that I can't count how many people asked me if my legs were in danger of snapping when I ran. I'm now chubby again. Excellent.

    I was ugly when I was a baby ☹️ I was so overdue that I was incredibly large and my nose had been flattened down to my face due to the way I was laying in my mums womb! My parents apparently laughed at my funny face when I was born and referred to me as Boxer for some time! Traumatised. I got cuter by 6 months though, had big blue eyes like my baby girl has and crazy white hair.

    Sproglet aged about 4

    I would post a more recent pic, but he says he doesn't want me to (he's 9....v.nearly 10 now) and he says "Don't mind them, but no recent ones muuuum"

    I was cute...for a boy!

    I had really curly hair, so my mum used to keep it cut short. I also had ears that stuck out 90 degrees from my head. Mum used to dress me in blue and mainly in shorts.

    My sister then came along and was dressed in pink or yellow little dresses and had her wavy hair in pigtails. We seriously looked like a brother and sister.

    This is me aged about 2:

    My youngest was a big baby, and had a very squished face when he was born. First time my mum saw him (when he was about 6 hours old), she christened him "sumo" as he was so chubby and his eyes were all squinty

    ? I was worried I'd give birth to something that resembled Chucky from the RugRats. My Hs family are renowned for pushing out carrot tops and I was adamant E would have the same (Boxer) face that I did! I was lucky this time around!

    I don't have any of me as a baby. I choose to hide them! This is my baby girl though (see she doesn't resemble Chucky from the RugRats at all!)

    I think I was a reasonably cute baby. I wasn't a munter anyway... My mum thinks my daughter is the image of me at the same age.

    This is me aged about 1:


    And my kids:

    I was a very fat baby. The health visitor had me on a diet at 3 months, and I've been fighting the flab ever since. So it's all my mum's fault for overfeeding me from the start. I will scan a photo in later...

    My son was gorgeous from day one (although I am biased) and has just got the the gangly/lanky/awkward stage, and his nose is changing.

    Here is a picture of me rocking the dungarees. I'm also eating cake mix. Explains a lot.

    CB - I look pretty much the same as I did when I was about 3, whereas my sister looks completely different. I think I was a cute baby too. OH was gorgeous as a kid, so high hopes for our offspring!

    Just remembered I was born with my hand stuck to my face, so I probably resembled John Merrick for the first few hours after birth! I also had some sort of problem with my blood vessels at the start, so I apparently looked like a battenberg for a few weeks. The cuteness grew after those issues resolved themselves!
