P is a great sleeper. She is down about 12 hours a night and either STTN or wakes to eat once, she's back out in 10 minutes flat. I can usually put her down drowsy-but-awake and she goes right to sleep. She's also hitting all her milestones pretty early and is very adaptable and happy.
DS STTN at 8 weeks, said "ok" when we said that it was time to stop wearing diapers and has had maybe 5 accidents in 9 months and is incredibly verbal.
C is so easy-going. He can be a complete nut too, but I get so many compliments on how chill he is. He's also been a fabulous sleeper since we night weaned at 15mo.
His receptive language is really good (expressive is behind) but I'm always impressed with how much he understands. He has also been so easy for me to soothe. If I get him he calms in 2 seconds, this has made life significantly easier. And he's very affectionate and loving
DD is an awesome traveler and adapts to new situations like a champ, even being thrown in a new school where she didn't speak the language at all on day one (age 3.5). At the same time, she's so good about keeping up with friends and cares so deeply about maintaining social connections. She's out of her mind with joy that she'll be seeing her Parisian BF in just a few days.
DS is a super happy and super social baby. He's the baby at family parties being happily passed from person to person way past his bedtime. The kid seriously only cries when he needs something, usually food.
Dd1.. she is a unicorn in pretty much every way. She sleeps well and always had. She will try anything and liked most things. She is very social with kids and adults. She handles road trips well and has been very go with the flow on most situations. No real jealousy issues of dd2.
Dd2...may be the happiest, most smiley baby ever. You can wake this kid up and she smiles. She was crawling just a few days after six months. She rolled over at 3 weeks old. I fear she may walk early as well.
AJ has been an awesome sleeper overnight and is never up for the day before 8am unless we wake him up. He's really verbal (probably because he is constantly being speech therapized, ha) and has his moments of toddler behavior but for the most part is pretty easygoing. He was a super easy newborn/infant.
DD has a pretty incredible vocabulary for a 17 month old. She loves to learn. She also loves vegetables and sleeps just as well traveling as she does at home (what wasn't great until a couple of months ago)

Dd1: Friendly, articulate, diplomatic, inquisitive, and has great handwriting (better than mine).
Dd2: Potty trained at 19 months and had a very advanced vocabulary from a young age. She's also really good at drawing. She's very empathetic and adorkable.
Both girls are very easy, agreeable and kind-hearted.
Ds2: Super easy baby, rarely cried as a baby, and was my best sleeper. Dd3: She calls for me ("mama"); I think it's the boob. She's a pretty sweet and happy baby.
DD laid completely still for all diaper changes until she potty trained herself at 2.5 years. We were still able to use the changing table she was so nice and still at diaper changes.
She has always fell right back asleep after MOTN bottles. Though after 18 months, It would be nice if she outgrew the MOTNs any day now.
We never guided her to a schedule, she settled into one on her own. Just took her 12.5 months to get there. An entire anti-scheduled year nearly killed me however.
I don't know that there's anything truly unusual about either, but what makes them special to me is that they're mine. . DD1 can be very thoughtful and is really into "making cards" (usually saying that she loves us). DD2 is super cheerful, determined, and never ever sits still. Of course, I think they're both pretty great.
He interacts so well with older kids, and he already sees the best in people.
He can't even walk and he makes friends with everyone on the playground. Today he was sitting in the sand, building a volcano with a big group of elementary schoolers. I offered to move him away but they said "No, we're all having fun and he is helping!" I was so proud that he wasn't in the way or ruining their hard work. lol.
