Silas is a spirited child for sure. I've got my hands full. Everything from fearlessness to impatience. It's funny they mention breastfeeding a spirited child, because now if the milk doesn't come fast enough he will get up and step on my boob to "kick start" it.
This made me lol! Hahaha.
It cracks me up, too. At first I wasn't sure what the hell he was trying to do. He literally kicks at it like he's gotta kick start a dirt bike. I realized he does it because he used to hit my boob until I started telling him no more milk if he hits.
Angel for sure. I was just thinking today that she probably spends at least 60 minutes a day just sitting and looking at/exploring books or DVD cases on her own.

The crazy part is seeing how different the girls are from one another. DD1 is definitely spirited, has been from birth. DD2 is more in between angel and textbook, again saw this personality from birth.
It is so fun to watch them grow up and see the differences between the two!
Thad, Lillian and Lincoln sound very similar personality wise.
Can we add Carter to that group? He's only aggressive in his affection - he loves giving hugs and kisses, but they're sometimes very forceful.
Add Andrew to it too! He is very shy around kids running around but will walk right up to the parents and say hi and start "talking" to them. But he is not a hugger.

Ari is a mixture of spirited and angel. He is incredibly easy going but he is seriously temperamental and crazy active. But, he's a dream at eating and bedtime- nap time, not so much. My in-laws say he is the easiest baby ever, but of course they aren't around him 24/7.
I say bullshit. M is probably mostly spirited I guess. But she did great swaddled and never got annoyed at my boobs. She's good with food in general. She fights sleep. Not a great napper (back to 1 hour total lately)
She is fine with strangers, anyone, loves playing with other kids. Doesn't like sharing lol
Generally her mood is pretty happy but she can be quite dramatic indeed, she doesn't like to be told no.
