C eats just about anything and always has. He doesn't like some things but he will always try them. He is also so smart. I'm always like, "how did he learn that?" Like the other day he was telling me two triangles make a diamond and mixing his bath tablet colors correctly to get the color he wanted.
P is insanely awesome. He is missing about 30% of his damn brain and is seriously going to start crawling by 6 months old. He meets milestones earlier than his brother. It's crazy and I'm amazed by him every day.
This is horrible but for dd1 I can't think of anything. Horrible sleeper, not adaptable, bad traveler, strong willed, bad eater. She is darn smart and absolutely hilarious. She has had absolutely zero jealousy towards dd2? I love her to pieces even with her faults
Dd2. She sleeps and has only had 2 ear infections in 9 months. I have only missed 1 day of work bc of her. Winning.

A sleeps 13 hours a night, and plays peacefully in her crib when she wakes up for about an hour if you leave her there. She's smart but stubborn! And I think she's left handed.
Henry: he's just seriously a good person. He's also a "feeler" in that he empathizes easily and genuinely. He's a really, really sweet and loving child.

DD: crazy verbal from really early on. Potty trained herself (out of spite, but the joke ended up being on her!)
DS: I don't want to jinx it. He is a great sleeper, minus a brief period of reverse cycling when I went back to work. He is so sweet, and so cute. He is always smiling.

Ds1 is a unicorn toddler as far as behaviour goes. No tantrums to speak of (occasional sadness requiring hugs) and 99% cooperative. Complies with all requests.
Ds2 will eat anything put on the tray in front of him (kale baby?) and is often so quiet I forget he's even there. He used to be a unicorn sleeper but the last couple months of getting up between 4:30-5:30 kind of killed that idea.

DD and DS1 have had maybe 2 tantrums in their life combined.
Sure, they whine and are a PITA at times, but they've never been the type to throw themselves on the floor crying and go on for an extended period of time. I didn't realize how lucky I was until DS2 came along--he's been having tantrums since he was born, it feels like.
DS2 (really all three kids, but particularly DS2) has always gone to sleep at bedtime without making a peep. He's had a 6:30pm bedtime or earlier since 3 months. I can count twice when we made a whimper at bedtime, and once was on our vacation and he was just out of sorts.
L is super verbal and has mostly STTN since 6 months. Plus she potty trained very easily
Before the 4mw, M was like the ultimate unicorn baby. He STTN starting at 2 months and smiles all the damn time. He only cries if he's hungry or tired.

DD is very easy going and incredibly social. She also has always been a unicorn sleeper - she regularly sleeps 13 hours straight at night, and naps up to 3 hours, going down easily for both naps and nighttime (the going down easy part is only after ST, though; before that she was far from a unicorn).
DS1 loves spicy food. He will eat almost anything at a Thai or Mexican restaurant.
DS2 is already standing by himself (holding on to something) and could get into a sitting position by himself pretty young. He also is a unicorn baby in that he gets up 10 times more often than a normal six month old.
LOL, just kidding. He is in a good mood 99% of the time, loves people, loves to eat out at restaurants and go shopping, will sleep in his car seat/stroller, and isn't picky about food. He just has a really pleasant, funny disposition. Too early to tell if he's smart but I like to think so. ETA: Oh, and zero ear infections at 12 months.
He sleeps 8.5-9 hours straight through and frequently wakes up laughing. He rarely cries. The daycare people said it kind of freaks them out when he goes a full day with no crying.
That said, he also rarely naps! And he has majorly explosive diapers on a regular basis.
DS..sleep and teething. STTN at 5 weeks and never stopped. No teething issues whatsoever. Don't worry, he's making up for it with his toddler shenanigans.
DD...stop slept through the night at 4 weeks, never cries unless her diaper is dirty. She is 5.5 months and I have no complaints. I'm sure toddler or teen years are going to be just awesome...
C loves everyone. She always says Hi and Bye-Bye to everyone. On our walk tonight, the elderly man on the corner picked a flower from his garden and gave it to her because, "she's always so happy to see me."

DS gives great hugs. He was also verbal, nighttime PT'd easily, and is easy to care for (according to my parents, he is the easiest of their grandkids).
DD is brave and willing to try anything. She is also helpful and has never had an ear infection (not that that's really in her control, lol).

Dd1 (age 2) very good and adaptable sleeper- she naps anywhere, car stroller, ect- great at adapting for travel, she never spit up, gave up bottles easily Super smart- excellent speech, can count - actually count not memorization
Dd2- (9weeks) very content as long as she's fed- no witching hour
Ollie is an amazing sleeper and is so friendly, happy, and cheerful. He had a minor surgery last week and when he came out of recovery, he was smiling and laughing. Each baby is typically assigned one nurse in recovery, but there were four nurses crowded in his room, each trying to make him laugh and smile.

He is so laid back and it comes through in a bunch of ways- awesome sleeper, chills in the crib, goes with the flow with changing schedules. He is also so stinking smart and studies things to see how they work and to figure it out.
She's always been a fantastic sleeper - easy to put down, STTN for 12-14 hours, solid 2-3 hour naps, etc.
And like ssmjlm's kid, very adaptable to any transition that comes her way (hopefully this continues for the move from crib to twin bed later this summer).
