What's your LO's temperament?

[carawestt]

Lincoln is a wild child all the time; always squealing, growling, laughing, yelling, etc. He never just sits there and chills. When we had our GTG with Ladybug, I noticed Laney is the same way (and her and Lincoln were hilarious together). So it made me curious how the rest of the on here babies are.

[Deleted]

Um.... stubborn. LOL. He wants what he wants. If he HAS what he wants, then he's silly and goofy and very happy. But if he's doing something he doesnt like or wants to be doing something else. Omg. Watch out.

[Deleted]

Chillax is what I call her. She loves to play by herself and is happy unless she is hungry or tired. She also really like to go shopping or large crowds because she likes watching people.

[EmmieB1025]

Very relaxed and independent. He wants to do everything his self and gets upset if he can't.

[bebeetmoi]

DD is also always on the move, she never just stays put. She is very happy and silly, and generally easy, but just always busy busy and I'm constantly needing to follow her to make sure she doesn't hurt herself and help keep her stimulated.

[bean47]

I can tell she is a thinker, but she's also pretty silly. She's definitely not a snuggler - she likes to be on the move. She loves to laugh. And she is social. She doesn't like to be alone, and when she does something she thinks is neat, she looks around to make sure everybody noticed. lol. But she sizes new people up before deciding whether they are cool or not. It's funny how she'll scrutinize someone.

This is DD too. I love watching her size up someone new. I would describe DD as happy, easy going and sweet. She loves social situations and is rarely crabby. She loves to play but would like someone close by to watch. She looks to us for a.reaction when she's silly or proud. She's pretty flexible too when we are out and about. It doesn't phase her to miss a nap if we are visiting family or something. She's just so happy, people really notice that about her.

You just described my DD in better terms than I did!

[Deleted]

H is a fighter but in a good way. For all that he has been through, he is such a happy little buddy, but he also can kick some major baby butt!

[katie]

She is a happy baby, always on the move and loves talking/screaming all the time. She too will look at us when she does something (good or bad) to see if we are watching. I think she is a dare devil, completely fearless. She crawls to everything, wants to stand up on everything. She falls A LOT and is usally pretty good about just getting right back up.

She is great when we go out in public or to other people's houses. She rarely gets fussy, she loves all the attention and is a people watcher. She will be extremely tired but will keep her eyes open until she hits the carseat. She doesn't like to miss anything. Everyone always tells us what a good baby she is when we are out and about because she just takes it all in.

She definitely likes for us to be around and in general she just doesn't sit and play independently. She will play with something and just crawl right back to us.

This sums Lily up pretty well too. Either myself or DH have to be with her at all times though - our two date nights were the only times she cried for a good amount of time. C'est la vie!

She sounds almost identical to Lincoln!

Tons of energy, right? I am glad to hear other babies are like this too. We have no idea.

DH said she acts like she is on a sugar rush sometimes. She is getting over being sick and it was SO weird because she was quiet for a few days when she had a fever. She is not a huge snuggler but when her fever was high she was. Usually she will come to me if I am on the floor, I pick her up and then she wants to go right back to it.

eta: And she is absolutley into everything. Star used the term "destructo baby" and she fits the bill for that name.

This sounds similar to Jamie too, though he's gotten a lot better about independent playing now that he can crawl. He's a happy baby, always on the move. When we're in public he is SO well behaved that sometimes I can't believe it's the same go-go-go baby at home. His favorite place to go is restaurants and steal food off my plate and laugh and flirt with everyone. He's hilarious. I love my Mr. Man ;D

LOL DD is a destructo baby too! She has zero fear and is already starting to torment my 5 year old step son.

This is precisely Andrew. And he likes to try to imitate my sounds, but nobody else for some reason.

[Deleted]

Haha oh ya definitely a wild child here too!! Never sits still and talks, talks, talks.

That's why I love her new shy phase because it's one of the only times she cuddles into me. MIL said DH was the total opposite of Laney as a baby but I was wild too!

[Deleted]

Extremely laid back, happy 99.99999% of the time, smiley, lovey, squishy babe

[silverjm]

L is pretty laid back. He's not much of a mover-still nowhere near crawling. He's fine just playing by himself for the most part as long as someone is in the room with him. He's a thinker and a studier too. He'll turn things over and over on his hands and pass it back and forth then taste it and bang it on the floor. He's a flirt too though and will smile and giggle at people.

[lauranicole91]

She is a stinker. Haha. She's really busy an really goofy when she wants to be. If she gets her way she will ham it up, if she's not getting her way or tired she is a grumpy butt with a 'tude. She can get feisty. Stubborn is a good description too.

However when we are out in public she is a whole other baby. She clams up. She's really quiet and just soaks everything in and gives everything and everyone a blank quizzical stare.

DH calls Lillian a "mad scientist" when she does this with objects in her hand, haha.

I'm always ready for bed right after he goes to sleep because I'm so exhausted from chasing him around all day. Lincoln is still a snuggle bug though, which I'm happy about

[mumegs]

Macy is an explorer, she wants to know what everything is, mainly wants to grab everything and put it in her mouth. I am constantly grabbing her back from crawling off the edge of the bed, or last night she crawled over to the fireplace and put charcoal in her mouth. She will pick up the tiniest specs that are on the carpet and put them in her mouth. And she wants what you have, be it phone, remote, or some old toy of hers that you've grabbed, if it's in your hands she wants it.
She is pretty relaxed though, and she's happy most of the time. She doesn't mind anybody else holding her, and she will snuggle and lay her head on your chest when she's tired. She is not shy at all which is funny because I have been pretty shy my whole life. She has fallen asleep on the chest of both my dad and stepdad who hardly ever hold her.

[ruby412]

She is smiley, happy, opinionated, not a big cryer, but a fabulous whiner. I think she is going to be pretty Type A and see the world as black or white. She can be a real drama mama - either extremely excited squealing away or very crabby and sad. Total opposite of me - I'm pretty laid back and even keel. I love nothing more than laying around watching a movie. My little lady is in constant motion and doesn't keep still for a moment. I can't wait until she can actually crawl because I think that will make her so happy.

Sounds like Matilda too! She's very easy going (except now from teething), no problem with strangers, no problem with strange situations etc. She just goes with the flow.

she is hard work to chase around after, and I have constant anxiety as she is trying to hurt herself all the time.. but she smiles so much and doesn't seem bothered by falling on her face regularly. ha

[The Foozzler]

Tyler is a charmer. He knows when someone is paying attention to him and he hams it up. He gives a flirty smile to everyone. He smiles for the camera. He is very happy overall.
He is also very determined. He crawled at 7.5 months and he so badly wants to walk now. He pulls up on everything and tries to creep along.

[tuck]

Let me answer that with a picture.



She will judge the hell out of you.

Seriously, this child's base personality is judgmental. Her only fear is being left alone, and she knows it's her birthright to nap somewhere on my body and have complete control of boobs.

She's not very goofy or wild, and she's definitely a thinker. She's pretty solemn. This is as happy as she gets:

[rxbeth]

I still say bipolar drama queen. lol

She is ridiculously happy and playful when we are out in public. When she is happy, she is the happiest baby ever but when she is tired and fussy and crabby...watch out!

She is definitely a thinker. It seems like she is always silently plotting.

[fusion]

Happy, but not exuberant. Momma's girl who loves to snuggle. Very shy around new people but loves her family unit. Slow to sadness. Stubborn.

[muppetinma]

You know how every movie has the chubby comedic sidekick? That's pretty much Andrew. He's just laid back and funny. He's mostly independent and likes to play by himself as long as you're nearby. If you leave the room, he'll follow you to see what he's missing. He is also quite the charmer.
