Baby personality

[Courtniko]

DS is quite chill, at least compared to DD. He smiles a lot, and is just so sweet. He likes to have conversations, cooing and smiling and giggling. I can put him down now, and he will be interested enough in looking at things that I have a few minutes to do other things, usually involving his sister. He is not a big fusser, just when he is hungry, or something is really bothering him.

ETA- buttercup, I feel like I just wrote exactly what you wrote, I guess our little guys are pretty similar. Or my DD has totally thrown my judgment off because she was (still is) so high strung

A lot of people comment on how chill DS is. He is usually fine with whatever we are doing. He is also very smiley! It doesn't take much to get him to smile. Sometimes he wants to be held and snuggled, and sometimes he lets us know when he is just overstimulated and wants to just be left alone on the floor or his swing.

My MIL has described S as an easy baby. He isn't too interested in toys, but loves looking at people and having "conversations". He smiles really easily and giggles more and more. He rarely fusses except for when he's tired. He prefers to be held most of the time and if he's not held he likes to be entertained by his mobile or someone talking to him. He also loves looking at the lights on his playmat. He seems to be very adaptable so far and doesn't get too thrown off if we spend the night somewhere else or have to change up the routine for whatever reason.

Easy baby here too. The past two days she has been crying for no apparent reason and it is so weird because she is never usually like that! She smiles and chats and is usually pretty calm.

DD1 was not like that. She cried a lot and was much more difficult to put down for naps/bed.

He is very wiggly. He loves to observe. Going somewhere with people to watch is his favorite.
He doesn't like to alone. He love to be carried and have music going.
He has a loud deep laugh.

S has been described as very chill, but has a sweet personality. He is happy hanging out and observing the world. He loves to watch people interact. He likes to play with toys and suck on his hands. He enjoys tummy time. He often smiles and laughs when you interact with him. He rarely fusses, and only does so when he is hungry or tired. He also has a strong natural routine and is very predictable. He eats and sleeps around the same times.

This is exactly how I'd describe my little lady, minus the tummy time!

R is hot or cold. When he's in a good mood he is the happiest baby on the block. But when he's not he is a miserable grump. I can't blame him though. He still constantly spits up so he is constantly moist and the poor thing is always so gassy.

M is really chill and happy most of the time. When he's hungry or tired though he wants immediate attention. He is much more attached to me than H ever has been but I kind of love it. He sleeps and eats good and really is a pretty easy baby.

I'm not sure if he's an easy baby because I don't have anything to compare it to and a baby is hard for me generally, lol. He definitely fusses when he's tired, which is like every 1 1/2 hours max, so I'm doing my best to let him sleep as much as he needs. He is a little sweetheart with me, and I think his smile will get him out of trouble more than once.

My little guy is so laid back and just happy! He is my third so I know firsthand they are not all this easy so I am not taking it for granted! My pediatrician actually referred to him as a "trick baby" -one that makes you want to have another (who will almost inevitably be more difficult). He's a sweetheart.

I have been calling ds my trick baby! He's my first so I'm not sure I even realize just how good we have it. He's been a champion sleeper from early on, and he rarely cries - really only if he's hungry. He does get really mad if you try to take the bottle away (to burp, wipe face, etc.) when he's eating and he's not done. He's always smiling and he loves to coo and imitate noises. DH even taught him to make what he calls"pigeon noises". It's hilarious!

While DS is not easy per se, he is SO much easier than DD ever was,so he definitely makes me think I could have a 3rd. If I currently had 2 with DD's disposition there would be no way to handle a 3rd. Of course if we do have a 3rd, the kid could end up being as hard as DD rather than as easy as DS.

Ha kendylouwho that's kind of what I said about DS during the newborn stage. Even when it's easy, it's hard!

I always thought "easy baby" is kind of an oxymoron. It's a lot of work raising a baby, no matter how well they sleep, eat or don't cry!

My little guy is a pretty serious babe. We have to work hard sometimes to coax smiles and coos out of him. He also wants to be held and move around a lot. But he's still just the sweetest thing.

That sounds like our LO! I'm still trying to get a giggle.

Me too! Apparently I am not as funny as I think I am. Everytime I do funny faces or sounds to get him to giggle he gives me a look like "what are you doing crazy lady?"

Haha, same right down to the look from LO. I'm like, when are you going to think me blowing raspberries is hilarious?! Come on!

Baby A is a little sweetheart. She smiles a lot and is very amused by her silly big brothers. DS1 has gotten a solid belly laugh out of her when all H and I can get are soft giggles. She is very alert and nosey and likes to see what's going on. When we're eating a meal, she needs to be in her sit me up seat near the table with us. She will sleep wonderfully - when swaddled. We're transitioning now, so we'll see how that plays out. She is the best nurser that I've ever had; too bad I can't keep up with her. She's battling some tummy issues right now, so things have been rough. She is a total momma's girl. She will scream and scream if someone else is holding her, especially in a new place or situation. Daddy is usually ok, but no one else. I'm a little nervous about that, but I'll take the extra snuggles!

We got our first huge giggle when I sang Dancing Queen to her! Apparently mommy's singing voice is hilarious


Maybe you can give it a try ha ha   

I'll try it! I had the Pandora oldies station on earlier and was dancing with him, he thinks I'm nuts already.
