I definitely think we see our own kids in a totally different light, not just in looks but also personality, skills etc. Where someone may just see a baby we see a beautiful little boy/girl who is funny/outgoing/strongwilled/insert adjective here. But just as far as looks though I think my boy is so handsome but also has a lot of charm. But there are some kids at my mums group who are just sooooo cute that you notice straight away. I am far more likely to notice if a girl is cute than a boy.
