I'll go first. I am not a morning person. AT ALL. When LO wakes up in the morning he starts by rolling around fussing, crying, clawing his face and kicking his legs. All while his eyes are closed. He looks like he's wrestling to stay asleep! Then he sulks for a good while after waking. I am also a very heavy sleeper. Noises keep me up but once I fall asleep I sleep pretty deeply. LO has slept through our smoke detector right outside his room but most notably he slept through the big red elementary school style fire alarm right in our apartment once. When these sleep things happen DH looks at me and says "Clearly that is your child."
What about you? What parts of your personality or habits do you see in your babe?
DS1 is completely DH. They're both stubborn, outgoing, and believe that the world revolves around them. (I love them both so much, but it's true.)
I think DS2 is becoming more like me because he has to with those two around. We're pretty quiet, easy going, and generally in a good mood. We also both love to cuddle.
Both of my girls are excellent nappers. My 2 yr old takes a 3-4 hr nap every afternoon and LO takes 2 or 3 naps a day that are at least an hour long. I looooove taking naps. I used to nap everyday in HS and college and often after work before I became a sahm. I still fit naps in when I can but that's few and far between now.
Zozo is hyper energetic like me, doesn't like to nap, and is easy to smile and laugh and giggle. That's all me, although it's pretty easy to amuse my husband too. She also goes from 0 to 60 in seconds and is extremely curious about the world and stares people down when they talk - that's me too At the same time, she's gentle and sweet and cuddly which is all my hubby.
He is extremely ticklish like me. Desmond and I both have a cowlick in the exact same place on our foreheads. I have had to deal with it forever. I hope his hair is easier to style than mine was when I was little. He also has my olive skin complexion which I love. I have always loved having an olive skin tone. He also has my big brown eyes. When people see him the first thing they say has something to do with how big his eyes are.
She's extremely ticklish like me. She has my blue eyes. And she snorts when she laughs. Oh and we were both born the exact same weight and length. Otherwise she's a mini version of her dad.
Sutton is always laughing/smiling like me. She's also always moving and doing something (DH is more laid back). She looks a lot like her daddy though. I'm jealous of their eyelashes.
