I have been pondering this for quite some time. What makes a child cute? My grandma pointed out that most times we are drawn to the kittens over the cats. There just seems to be something about people and animals in their smaller stages.
Preston is still at the cute stage. I am unsure when they outgrew cuteness and become whatever the next stage is, busy, wild or inquisitive perhaps? Maybe it has to do with talking. He talks and is still learning, so his expressions are smaller and you really have to listen to understand.
Perhaps it happens when they lose that smooth baby skin. The same skin that gets really dirty playing outside.
Maybe it is the texture of their hair, you know that really soft hair that babies have. When it changes to something more course. Does the haircut make a difference? When they have a grown up hair cut does this take away from cuteness?
And I couldn't forget baby feet. Does this have something to do with walking and running? I think the shape of their feet changes as they become more mobile.
What about nakedness? A little kid is cute naked, but a grown up is considered indecent exposure.
So what do you think makes something cute?

I think it is that Rayburn nose. All mine have it. It definitely adds to the cuteness they never outgrow.
We certainly have our share of cuteness.
If you haven't checked in at juggler, be sure too. I've posted lately.
