My son is turning 8 months by tomorrow the 15th. I'm beginning to know him more and have an idea of what I'll be dealing with within 2-3 years later.
He seems advanced for his age (ex; starting to grab the bottle when he was 4 months old). Whenever he can't advance more in a milestone, he gets very upset, screams loudly and is very persistent. There are times he gets bored grabbing the milk bottle and if we place his hands on it, he'll remove them.
My husband's father described our boy as a go-getter. He hates being alone with just one person or in quiet places (he actually loves noisy places) for too long. He likes socializing with people, being held in an upright position when he's bored and tends to sleep on his own. It seems like he does have a headstrong personality and a bit dominant. I've made a promise even before he was born. My promise was I would have all the patience in the world regardless of what child I would deal with and I never go back on my words. I'm currently reading a parenting book and will be advanzing to the toddler chapter.
But yes it does seems like I'll be dealing with a strong-willed boy (I was told I wasn't easy as a toddler either). So a baby/child's personality and temperament can be innate too?

I am not sure I would call them personality/character traits... but, I was known to be stubborn, I didn't like sunlight or heat, I did prefer the cold, I didn't like to wear layers of clothing, didn't like to be touched or handled by everybody... being very fussy and selective
all this and a couple things more, since I was two months old or whatever, lol
however... there were also other few things that I was very early on, and I am not those today, and the most clear example of that was how extremely shy I used to be back then, but not at all anymore
Of course it is. Babies aren’t blank slates without any sort of personality. I don’t know why you’d think that. Babies have personality and differences from the start.
Well I'm a first time mother and I really thought the environment where a baby is raised is what makes contributes the most to their personalities but nope. If my son was on a moody day, he didn't want tummy time at all, not even for 5 minutes. It's interesting.
probably
