Personality Creeping Out

Bryan’s been demonstrating some real personality traits in the past few weeks. Ever since birth, we have noticed nothing more than the fact that he smiles a lot (and cries when he sees Jason and “A” ). But now we are also noticing his strong personality traits when he likes or dislikes something. But then again, I am sure it happens to all 9-month-old babies.

Another interesting thing we noticed about Bryan is his newfound ability to associate a series of events based on prior experience. For example, when we change his cloths and puts him in his infant car seat, he now knows we are taking him out. So if Grace tricks him by taking him out of the car seat again, he complaints as if he’s saying, “I thought we are going out! I want to go… I want to go… I want to go…”

Bryan is also showing some of those “manipulative” sides of him when he wants attention. Sometimes I purposely don’t pay attention to him when he plays (we usually know he wants our attention when he plays as his big eyes look our way). He will then proceed to fall on his back and makes fussing sounds (he can’t sit up on his own yet) to get my attention — it’s really cute and funny… But I have a feeling this is going get really old really fast when he turns 3 or something… (or maybe it won’t).
