I've got absolutely nothing against minifob (or most other infants for that matter), but I await my sound beating in my declaration: until they reach a certain age, babies are most certainly not cute. Newborns, especially, are only considered cute by the parents that produce them -- the creatures are alien looking in their wrinkly, smooshed-up faces, deformed skulls, and blank stare. Until their age defines them as "children", the actions of babies alone often negate any cute properties they might have gentically aquired: the chubby little face, fatty arms/legs, and oversized eyes cannot compete with the basic function of turning food into drool, poo, vomit, and screaming.

That's the beauty of still photography for recording moments in time like this.

He're a cute pic of my daughter. A fairly typical pose at that age. Notice the adorable drool on her chin. So much, she wore a bib between meals. And the lovely cry. You can't hear it, but trust me, it was lovely. And you can't smell her sweet aroma, but I think I know why she was crying.

That pose is usually followed with by the phrase, "here, you take her", and the diaper crinkle sound as the infant is forced into the arms of unsuspecting victim. The problem is that it is impossible to deny the offer to hold a baby. |

Actually it is possible. I have become quite practiced at feigning ineptitude when presented with someone else's offspring.
"No, I'm not allowed to hold one of those." "I have been exposed to several very frightening infectious diseases this week at work, and my test results aren't back yet." Holding the wriggly creature at arm's length, under the armpits, making sure that it's arms are pointing roughly upward, but a different angles, also guarantees parental rescuing.

It seems to work in reverse for me. Perfect strangers or people I barely know come up to me and, if they're polite, ask to pick up or hold the baby, and if not, they simply try to take them. They put their fingers all over my baby's hands (which go in their mouths), tickle them, tousle their carefully arranged hair, and often either try to stuff their pacifier/bottle IN their mouth or yank it OUT (depending on the pacifier's location). I've had to work on a response to retrieve my baby back from them and still maintain my civility.

Just something from a Seinfeld ep. It's an illness of mine!
Nothing against you! Best wishes to you and your beautiful baby.
