Cuteness is all timing. I think my granddaughter brings new depths of meaning to the common understanding of cute. I also accept that I might be a bit biased. You can see that I would not make a good reporter for the New York Times or CNN.
I also know it is a matter of context. If I laid on a bed and kicked my legs and ate my shirt, no one would think I was being cute. They would dial 911. When she drools while smiling it melts my heart but her uncle rushes off to wash his hands. I thought changing diapers was fun when I was a parent. Now I will do a number 1 but for a 2 it is time for momma to have some quality time.
When you come across people who are new parents you need to be patient with them. They are in a bubble and the new bundle is at the center.

Enjoy it while it lasts. They grow up all too soon, as you know all too well.
