PREFACE: EVERY BABY I KNOW RELATED TO THIS BLOG SITE IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. I DO NOT LIE. SERIOUSLY.
Okay, so this girl I know had a baby about a week before me, and her baby is just not cute. Not at all. Every time she sends out pictures of the little girl, I hope that she's gotten cute so that I can gush about how adorable she is, but um, no. I say things like, "What a cute outfit!" and "It's so cute that she has a person nose instead of a baby button nose!" Or "Aww, Daddy loves his baby girl!" or "She's so tiny!" I can't say that she's cute.
And sometimes I slip and say, "Does she always cry this much?"
My husband agrees (although he doesn't like the girl, so he's anti-biased also), and our other friend and her husband agree. I feel bad - should I lie? Do you think she noticed that I haven't actually complimented her kid?
I'm hoping she grows out of it and becomes a darling little girl. Because really, it's probably not fair that my kid is freaking adorable AND super laid back while hers is ogre-like and screams at all times if not attached to her bosom.

OMG! I wanted to blog about this today, too, but I was too afraid!!! LOL! Also, I just said the same thing to Matt today about the baby. I really want it to grow cuter, but it just doesn't seem to. Matt said it kind of scares him and he thinks there could be something wrong with it. Poor baby!!
haha, this is why my blog is not connected to my facebook :) i'm always scared that something I say will get back to her even if I only say it to you! I'm not afraid you'll say something, I think it's more of a "she'll just know" sort of paranoia :)
That's like a girl I went to high school with. She had a son last year, and it was one of the ugliest babies ever but it's the grin and oh how cute response
My niece was like then when she was born - she looked like a boy (which doesn't automatically make her not cute, but it just... didn't work on this kid) and she reminded me of a bear and I just... I couldn't lie, so I did the same thing. Now, I could have been biased, since my perfect baby girl was only 2 weeks older and she was the most adorable baby, but wow. Thankfully, at 2.5 my niece is now a beautiful little girl! She grew into her face.
Another friend had a baby who - minus the being green part - looked just like the Shrek babies. JUST. LIKE. THEM. But she looks a little more human now, so that's better, too.
Mama Fuss, I don't think it's all that much of a bias - Henry was born two weeks before yours, and a month before Suzie Homemaker's and I think you both have darling beautiful babies :)
