Poll: What is the first thing that ppl say/notice about your LOs?

Mine is his eyelashes. They are so long - that is the first thing almost everyone says "Wow, look at those long eyelashes!"

Re: Poll: What is the first thing that ppl say/notice about your LOs?

  • With Z I would say his lashes too, they're to die for!  And his fuzzy hair, I love it!

     

    With DD it's most definitely her eyes as far as looks go, most people say they envy/adore her big brown eyes.  Oh, and how petite she is. As far as personality goes we get comments on how well spoken she is for only being 2.

  • That's easy.  With Elena I hear all about her curly hair.  What beautiful curly hair, and it goes on and on.

    But my pet peeve is that they don't say anything about Julia.  When she was a baby it was "and oh, what a cute baby too!", but now that she's older she gets ignored.  Breaks my heart for her and I feel the need to stick up for her.  "Why yes, both my girls are beautiful and work very hard."  Julia doesn't quite get it yet, but she will some day.

  • They have always said (pretty much since birth) "he looks like such a little man" :)  Can anyone give the quick and easy version of how to post a picture with my ticker?  Thanks!

  • Easy - their cheeks and their eyes...and of course, their size.

  • Are they twins???? 

    People gush over "how cute they are", but nothing specific..  Just cute...  Maybe they really aren't cute and they are just trying to be nice...  Urgh...

    Nope, they're definitely cute. Big Smile

  • They usually comment on her chattiness, and her blonde hair. And sometimes how short she is.

  • His eyes.  They don't seem abnormally big to me but everyone comments on how big they are.

    Click on the little icon above your screenname, then click "Edit My Profile." In the signature box, use the code <*img src="put the picture's URL here" width=300> (except take out the *). If the picture is vertical rather than horizontal, change with word "width" to "height." You can play around with the number to get the pic to the size you want it.

    It's easier than it sounds...it's just hard to describe how to do it. I want to see a pic of that little man! I saw on FB that Stephanie had a baby! Has she brought him up yet to visit? I just love babies :)

  • The first thing is that she's beautiful or pretty.  Then they'll ask how old she is, and the next comment is "oh wow...she's tall!". 

    For Ally, right now I'm getting the typical "your baby is so cute", and then "they're going to be best friends!".

  • It used to be Tyler's hair.  It stuck straight up like nothing you have ever seen!  It has recently started to lay down so now I tend to get comments about how big his eyes are.  (like pp, I don't really notice how big they are but I guess they are)

  • Yay!  Thanks, Katy!  Stephanie had her baby boy at the end of February.  I imagine she'll wait until about 8 weeks to bring him up, but I can't wait to see him!  I've been following your adventures in NJ on your blog.  Natalie is such a little beauty :) 
  • how petite she is or how much she talks.
  • How big he is compared to his mama. We get this allllll the time.

  • His curly red hair and how well he talks for a 20 month old.
  • Most definitely her curly hair -- sometimes a comment about how petite she is.
  • How much he looks like his daddy, unless they've never met/seen my husband, then we just get "He's so cute!"
    My big boy is bounding towards 4! Baby brother coming in October!

  • For DD either her eyes or her height.

    For DS, his smile or if they ask how old he is, his size - "OMG! What a huge baby!" Yeah, my 4mo is wearing 12mo clothes.

  • Everyone is always surprised by O's age.  They always think he's older due to his size and vocabulary.  The cable guy told me he thought he must be 4 or 5.  I get the exact opposite reaction for C because she's so tiny.  Everyone thinks she's a lot younger.  

    My brother is big and I am small so I think I just recreated my own family.

    Oh my goodness, he is so cute! I don't know what your husband looks like but I definitely see a lot of you in him. Hard to believe he is 6 months!

    We have a similar situation.  People here LOVE Hannah.  They don't say anything in particular about her appearance, but they are drawn to her.  We get requests a lot from people who want to take her picture.  They're also always saying hello and talking to her, and giving her toys or candy.  (Yes, strangers seem to give candy here a lot.)  And they pretty much ignore Sam.  He definitely notices it, but he doesn't seem to take it personally though--if she gets something, he'll say, "Can I please have some candy too?" or he'll start chatting them up.

    They also don't say anything about Sam's appearance, but if he talks to them or if they observe him for a while, they'll say how sweet he is, or that he's very smart.

  • Her hair and her green eyes.  Once they find out her age, I usually get a "She's so tall!  Nothing like her Mom" comment. Annoys me.
  • He looks just like his dad. Or "hes only X months old!" And his hair.
  • Basically I get overall "she's so precious/adorable/insert other adjective here" comments, but some about her pretty blue eyes and blonde hair. I also get comments on her height.

    But my favorite is when they comment on her good manners. Big Smile

  • Her lips. People always comment on her full lips and how a lot of women pay money to get lips like hers! :) And when people find out how old she is, they always comment on how tall she is for her age.

  • Mostly they comment on his size--he's a butter tub!  If they know DH, they comment on his mini-me status.
