Hellobee Boards

Oh yes! I get comments all the time about how serious J is! He's very sweet and funny but he doesn't immediately smile at strangers making funny faces, or Santa, or the Easter Bunny.

I totally have one. People always joke that she is judging them with that look she gives. She is super sweet and fun but a little reserved with strangers. While < 1 yr she screamed for Santa and things like that, but she's warming up some now that she is older and in part-time daycare.

@Cherrybee: @Foodnerd81: Yeah, pretty much as soon as the "4th trimester" was over she became an independent little grump. It's hard to explain to people that she's just NOT cuddly. Sitting beside me leaned up by the corner of the couch like the photo (which I took down since I realized this wasn't a gold post) is pretty much her favourite position. She will also sometimes accept sitting on your lap, facing out. But loathe be the person who tries to cradle her without promptly presenting a boob.

My LO has the best laugh but in between laughs she is ridiculously serious. Strangers comment on it all the time. I think she just loves watching people.

@Cherrybee: yes! Everyone comment how S looks so serious- since birth she's had this frowning face she does all the time! Like you said about E, I think she's frustrated at not being able to do much yet.

@illumina: Oh my goodness, so cute. It is like they really don't appreciate the indignity of relying on others to do everything for then, isn't it? I always joke that she just has deep thoughts.

My DS was very serious as an infant and DH was sad that he would so rarely laugh or smile. Somewhere along the lines he developed this great laugh and now he is so much fun, always laughing or smiling.

My niece has always been quite serious. She had some great "I'm not impressed" faces as an infant. Even now, at 3 she still gets in her serious moods, especially when she's drawing or trying to build something with her blocks. We joke it's her daddy's "engineer face."
