Both of my daughters are like that, and for the oldest, at least, it didn't mean that she was an extrovert. She's like me - a social introvert who needs time with people, and then REALLY needs quiet time to recharge. My 3 month old is the same as you describe so far, and I imagine she'll be similar.

Oh my gosh yes. My son is 16mo old, and such a social butterfly in public, doesn't know a stranger. At home, the majority of his play has to be with us interacting or by his side or else he melts down or gets whiny/clingy. He was never one of those babies that just quietly observed in his car seat or chair like a lot of my friends have - always needed full attention on deck, and wanted a interactive view. I just collapse most nights at his bedtime drained!! I don't even make project lists or goals anymore for night like I used too. Hoping one day I won't feel so drained every night (and I feel that way on weekdays too even though I work so we aren't together 24/7)

I think my daughter could be. But I think DH and I are social introverts. My son is still a baby so it's hard to tell but I think he will be quieter and more sensitive than his sister.

I am a social introvert. I love my friends and family dearly and value my time with them tremendously, but I NEED my alone time. If I get home an hour before I need to get J from daycare, sometimes I take that hour to just sit at home and recharge, because my son is so much energy and love and noise and everything haha.

He has also started having regular play dates with a boy in our building, and this past week this boy has been over to play every day. I love that he has such a great friend, and I love that he's happy. I also really like the kid and the kid's parents, but admittedly it can be really difficult for me to have the extra noise and person in my home several days a week. I deal with it, because J is very happy and having fun, and mostly it does allow me to get stuff done with little interruption.
