Are you a freak like me?

I found myself staring at cute babies all the time. When a see a baby I first look at their feet, then hair, then lips… But when the parents catch me I tell them how cute their baby is and try to stop staring but something comes into me. I try to compare skin tones with the parents or one of my kids if they are close enough. I try not to look like a freak, but I sometimes think people see me staring and wonder what the freak is wrong with me.

My husband’s family has 2 day cares so I see babies all the time, but I have become obsess with getting the right skin tone. :unamused:please tell me I’m not crazy. :grin:

YES! I was holding Stella at her party a couple of weeks ago, but I was only interested in looking at her SWIRL…so I turned her around and held her face out, away from me. LOL…and then I had to examine her nails. Yep. Auntie Karen will be banned from future parties. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It’s okay. It’s an artist thing. If you were drawing horses, every horse would catch your eye. Every nuance of stance would draw your attention. If you are a nature artist, leaves blowing in the wind…a certain cast of color through the branches…all have an entrancing quality. Rejoice in it. That appraising eye is a gift from God.:wink:

The other day my hubby and I were outside with Sophia (our 16 month old) and I was taking pictures of her. Later my hubby was looking at the pics and said you missed her face in a lot of these. I was taking pictures of her swirl :smile: I’m forever looking at her little feet too :smile:

Lol I recently compared my kit’s eyelid veins with my 6 yr old and 3 yr olds! HAHAHA

I used my camera phone and reversed the camera so they could see themselves and took turns closing one eye to compare their’s to the painted head! LOL

I do the same thing with my baby niece! I take my camera everytime I see her lol I have so many pics of her, more than her parents do.
These 2 are my favorites, I hope you don’t mind. You can use them for reference, I do lol

It might be your biological clock ticking. I am not a kid person at all but I worked in a hospital and everytime I saw the babies in L&D I would have to stop and stare. I couldn’t stop looking. I normally don’t take a second look. Well, I soon found out I was pregnant. After that I went back to not looking–so much.

I am constantly looking at crowns. Even when I am sitting behind some older guy that has lost a bit of hair I still look for the pattern that might have been there,
