Will your cutie be a beauty? A new study looks for answers.

Most of us feel like we have the cutest kids around, but of course we also know if our little cutie isn't going to last 10 seconds in a kiddie modeling contest. If your baby's face is one of those that only a mother could love, take heart: According to a new study, in a few years time your little one might just end up looking like [fill in the name of your favorite hottie here].

The small survey used high school yearbooks that also included baby pictures of the graduating seniors. Researchers surveyed a group of college students, asking them to rate for attractiveness both the baby pics and the young-adult ones. They found no correlation between attractiveness - or ugliness - during infancy and at 18. Which explains the Olsen twins - I always thought they were not very cute toddlers on Full House, but they're gorgeous now!

So, when can you start banking on your baby’s future modeling career? According to a report on the study in Psychology Today, we can predict adult attractiveness by age 5, which satisfies something I honestly have wondered: how do casting agents for TV shows know that the adorable 6-year-old they hire will still be good-looking if the show sticks around for a few years.

How much do you think about your LO's attractiveness now and in the future? I look back at my son's baby pictures, and I'm definitely more objective now. Then I thought he was the most gorgeous thing in all the land - now that's he's a way better-looking 2-year-old, I see he was cute then, but he had some ugly moments, lol.

And that leads to another thing scientists believe: Because we think our odd-looking infants are beautiful, we take better care of them.

Do you have a cutie? Ever wonder if other people see your LO the same way?
