Curious, cheerful, determined and not interested in suffering fools. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180885 Sun, 17 May 2015 13:04:22 +0000 HLK208 2180885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes for DS - always a little more high maintenance than other kids! He needs me often (to talk him through boo-boo's, sad times, to rock him to sleep), he's bright and figures things out quickly, he likes to socialize and he never sleeps haha.</p> <p>DD, was a bit more laid back as a baby than she is as an almost 3 year old. She's easier than her big brother was though. She had severe stranger danger as a baby and even now, she's not super outgoing. She always been observant and sits back, taking things in. </p> <p>DD2 is sweet, social, loves other kids, gets into everything and is kind of free spirited. I'm wondering if she'll be the same as she gets older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180884 Sun, 17 May 2015 13:00:58 +0000 hilsy85 2180884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Reserved in new situations, curious, and independent from about 4 months on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180878 Sun, 17 May 2015 12:30:07 +0000 Rockies11 2180878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter came out of the womb screaming in indignation, and then latched and nursed for hours. She's always been sure of exactly what she wants, and still is at 22 months. My new one is a little lamb, very calm when she was born and afterwards, so I am hoping that she'll stay that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180817 Sun, 17 May 2015 10:09:07 +0000 FaithFertility 2180817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohhhh I hope it stays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180731 Sun, 17 May 2015 06:36:01 +0000 anbanan15 2180731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far yes for both!</p> <p>DS was high maintenance and demanding from birth and still is at 4. DD has always been more easy going and laid back. They both been through a lot medically, DD more, and the way they handle it also goes with the way their personalities are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180728 Sun, 17 May 2015 06:20:15 +0000 NovBaby1112 2180728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really- as an infant she was very colicky, sensitive, always alert, hard to get to sleep, etc. but As a toddler she is much more chill and happy, but has a big temper and loses her shit easily, ha. She has and still has "fear of missing out". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180726 Sun, 17 May 2015 06:08:20 +0000 winniebee 2180726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! Once he became a toddler his behavior as an infant made much more sense. Physical, alert, wanting attention constantly, loud! Awesome kid but demanding from day 1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180722 Sun, 17 May 2015 05:40:25 +0000 lamariniere 2180722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS - was a very high maintence baby. But right after he turned 1, it was like we had a new child. He was suddenly very easy, and, for the most part, he has remained incredibly easy (and he's 4!). </p> <p>DD - was the sweetest little lamb of a baby until she turned 10 months. She suddenly had an opinion about things and has been a defiant, somewhat disobedient toddler (almost 18 months now). I'm sure most of that is normal behavior though, we were just spoiled with DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180685 Sat, 16 May 2015 23:36:22 +0000 SupernovaJ 2180685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she has the exact same personality. as a newborn / infant, she was overall a happy, playfully, smiley, alert baby, but had a RIDICULOUS temper and rage when she was unhappy. exactly the same to this day as a 13 month old! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180665 Sat, 16 May 2015 21:56:41 +0000 shopaholic 2180665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We could see her outgoing, fun, silly personality since she was a little baby! She was even smiling in the hospital and laughing from really early on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180661 Sat, 16 May 2015 21:43:58 +0000 birdofafeather 2180661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! Ha. Well, to an extent. She was a chill pretty quiet baby. Usually liked to hang back and kinda check out the scene first. When she hit 12 months, she became a sassy pants, adventurous toddler. She's still that way at almost 2.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180585 Sat, 16 May 2015 18:45:58 +0000 snowjewelz 2180585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180581 Sat, 16 May 2015 18:28:36 +0000 Pancakes 2180581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 was such a silly, funny, vocal/verbal baby from the time she was a few months old. When I watch her old baby videos, I think, 'Oh my gosh, it makes so much sense that this is who she would become.' She's very much the same today, super silly, super verbal.<br /> DD2's personality has taken longer to emerge, so I'm interested to see what she's like in a year or two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180571 Sat, 16 May 2015 17:42:52 +0000 looch 2180571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, high maintenance from day 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180570 Sat, 16 May 2015 17:30:22 +0000 gingerbebe 2180570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 8.5 months old. He was a colicky reflux baby so he was a screaming angry mess the first few months, but is a very happy baby now, as long as we stick to his routine.</p> <p>His personality outside the colic has been the same. He is a smart and stubborn little guy. He is very physical and likes to stretch and move all. the. time. Even as a newborn he hated swaddling, hated feeling confined in the rock n' play, took his crib from day 1, and could thump around for hours in there. As a result, he's always hit his physical milestones early.</p> <p>He is gets bored by things very quickly, but while he's into it, he's super focused and gets tunnel-visiony about it. For instance, as a newborn he would be transfixed by a certain shadow on the wall and you couldn't snap him out of it. Milk dribbling everywhere, just mesmerized. Now he'll be SUPER into a book - can't hear you, wont make eye contact, furrowed brow, laser focused - but then all of the sudden he will fling it to the floor bc he's just done with it. And move on. </p> <p>He's not cuddly, but likes to have you nearby, even if he's ignoring you for the most part. He has no fear and flings himself into whatever. He loves water. Not into food/milk - he's definitely an eat to live kinda person. </p> <p>Because of his distraction he needs a rigid routine and needed sleep training - otherwise he never shuts off and just gets hysterical. So we put a huge priority on his schedule and sleep. I think as he gets older, he'll probably continue to need that kind of predictable schedule but I hope he gets cuddlier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180506 Sat, 16 May 2015 13:40:11 +0000 Cherrybee 2180506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the main, yes. She has always been intense and fiercely independent. She has always loved people and new experiences, and needs lots of stimulation. The difference though is that she's a happy little gem now but she was such a miserable baby, such sads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180493 Sat, 16 May 2015 13:04:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 2180493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not counting the first 4 months, so far yes. She was colicky and difficult and never happy for those months, but ever since she outgrew that she's been quite a chill, happy, snuggly baby. Now getting close to two, she's opinionated for sure but just as snuggly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180484 Sat, 16 May 2015 12:55:32 +0000 mrsrugbee 2180484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far it's rung true. Mine has always been really active and adventurous. Middle of the road in terms of social interaction. She's almost 16 mo so I think this is the foundation of her personality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180438 Sat, 16 May 2015 11:36:58 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2180438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope my LO get a little more cuddly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180384 Sat, 16 May 2015 10:16:00 +0000 rachiecakes 2180384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, yes!<br /> He was a super alert, always moving baby. Even as a newborn. He didn't like to be held or restrained. Very physical.<br /> He's a very active toddler, totally obsessed with mastering every sport, bike, scooter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180357 Sat, 16 May 2015 09:22:02 +0000 MrsF 2180357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! M was VERY difficult as a baby and she is just an awesome toddler. </p> <p>We'll see about J! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-los-personality-as-a-baby-stay-the-same-as-they-got-older#post-2180354 Sat, 16 May 2015 09:17:36 +0000 snowjewelz 2180354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 5.5 mo and has a pretty strong/clear personality already.. I wonder if it will carry through or she will change a lot? </p>
