describe it!

Because I'm starting to think Kenna is not normal

Seriously she's nuts. She's SO demanding. She SCREAMS when she wants something and will. not. stop. until she gets it. won't. she'll just scream for hours until she passes out I think. She fights already with her brother and sister if they have a toy and she wants it she will pull HARD and scream until they give it to her. I'm not kidding! And if they try to take something she has, she holds REALLY tight and pulls away and again, screams. Screaming seems to be her thing. She shows off all the time, anything for attention. She's not shy, she'll talk to anyone in the store, go to anyone...that is a huge opposite of my other 2 who still are crazy shy. Sierra won't talk to you at all, even if she's met you 19 times. She barely talks to her gymnastics coach and she sees her every week for the past year.

Kenna also gets into everything. If she's not supposed to get in it, then she's in it. She goes where she's not supposed to, does stuff she's not supposed to. I'm so not used to this She's insanely stubborn.

All that and she will take a baby doll, rock it in her arms, pat it's back, kiss it's head and feed it from her sippy cup

Ali is pretty independent, but still needs comfort from me periodically throughout the day. She will go play happily for 30 minutes, then crawl back over to me and get loving. She's very talkative, always talking to her toys, the cats, us, the wall.. she's a happy baby most of the time. She loves getting into stuff too, and pulling all her toys out of the toybox. Silly baby.

Lol, I was just talking to dh about this the other day, we never had to worry about the other 3 getting into things, but Noah is constantly getting into what he's not supposed to.

But he also loves to snuggle when he first wakes up

Maggie is happy, and pretty busy, but laid back. She's quiet. Very pensive. She watches everything very intently and never misses a beat. You would almost think she's a very serious baby by the way she inspects you and everything else around her, but then she cackles at you and smiles and laughs belly fully and you realize she's more crazy than she let you believe. Maggie suckers you in. Then flashes the smile and carries on her own way. She knows this is her best weapon, and she uses it well. She's clingy and loves to be cuddled, but it must be on her terms, and with the person of her choosing. What can I say, she's definitely my child.

oh my...where do I start? She is very independant, she does not want use to do anything for her. She will throw herself down and kick her legs (yes, already!). She will throw things, and smack her sister if she's in her way. Her and Kaitlyn fight over toys, and usually it's Kaitlyn playing with baby toys while Kaileigh plays with big girl toys, then they fight over whose toys are whose and it's never ending...

She is always smiling, and laughing (when she's not throwing a fit...ha ha). She rarely cries. I couldnt even think of the last time she cried. She's a tough one. If she falls down or bumps into something she just looks at me and waits for me to says "Your ok " and she goes on. She can be so sweet and loving when she wants. She too plays with dolls, and hugs and kisses on them. She also loves to push around barbie cars. She has a fascination with rocks. I can seriously give her a plastic cup and she will sit outside and pick up rocks and put them in the cup, dump them out, and put more it. It will keep her busy for an hour or more. She is easily entertained which is great.

Wow, I didnt mean for that to be this long. Bottom line, she's easy, sweet, and loving, but can be mean at the push of a button and is a drama queen.

Max is very laid back. He's pretty happy most of the time. He plays well by himself but also enjoys playing with his siblings. The kids know if they want a toy he has they have to offer him something else first He's still pretty slow at crawling so he's easy to watch. He loves cuddling with people and is very much a Mama's Boy

Sophie is an easy baby. I don't have anything to compare this to, but "everyone" says this to me. We had her out all morning & afternoon (We left the house at 8:50am to be in the parade, didn't come get back home until almost 3pm) She never gets cranky when she's tired, she'll just fall asleep.

She likes to dance....and she is really nosey. When we're out in public she stares at people like she's listening to them. Today when we were eating (it was a festival so we were sitting in the grass by the river) she kept walking up to other people, and when they would look at her (you know how people are, "awww, a baby") she would take off running back to me, laughing like "OMG they caught me!" haha.

She also LOVES the paci. She'll walk around with a paci in her mouth and one in her hand if I let her. As soon as she cuts her top teeth I'm going to start the process of weaning her from the paci.

She likes things that she knows she's not supposed to have, but she likes bringing them to us. Today she found a cap to a water bottle and a popsicle stick in the grass and brought them to us. Of course we make a big deal over everything with her saying "Yayyyy Sophie!" and clapping...so she walks around clapping a lot haha...

Juliana sounds a lot like Kenna. She's very demanding, wants to go where she wants when she wants, and wants to pick up what she wants when she wants. If anyone dares take something away she'll scream and scream! She has an enormous need to suck and likes to nurse for comfort, especially any time she's teething, especially all night long! She's also super sweet and cuddly, but only if you're on her good side. If not, watch out! She is far from an easy baby. I don't even need to have another one to compare her to to know that.

Kenna = Leah


Seriously. Leah is very demanding, clingy, and has some attitude going on. She's just very feisty. For instance, this weekend we were keeping my BIL's dog. She absolutely loves dogs, but I felt so sorry for the dog, lol. She was so mean to it, but then she'd turn around and give the dog a kiss and pat its back. She would steal his toys, and play tug-a-war with his toys, but then get pissed when he wouldn't let go, lol.

Leah has a cousin who's 3 months younger (and a total laid back personality...polar opposites), but she prefers to play with bigger kids. He always tries so hard to play with her , but she just looks at him like "uh...ur a baby...no thanks." She has brief moments of being snuggly and sweet, but most of the time she's so inquisitive, and just into EVERYTHING. She loves my cell, which she knows she can't have. If I try to hide it from her, she always has a way of finding it. I wish I had an easy going baby, but she's a lot of fun, and I don't think I'd trade her for anything else

Yes! That's Kenna!!!! She does the same things to our cats lol and she much prefers big kids! She very fiesty and wont stop until she gets her way! I guess that may be a good thing when she's older but ohmygosh! Talk about attitude in tiny packages!

She's also a mama girl and will cling to me like a monkey!

I will answer about Arie tomorrow after we get internet, but just wanted to say Kenna sounds like a middle child (which I am one). So all that means is she is telling you to have 2 more babies after her!

Matthew is a fiesty one! From day one his cry was LOUD (even the nurses at the hospital noticed!)!! He speed crawls, is into everything (especially if you say no), and knows what he wants. He has super ridiculous high energy and fights sleep! That being said, he is such a total love bug and I wouldn't have it any other way. This pretty much sums up Matthew's personality:

Arie is a TALKER. Omg, I have never heard a baby talk so much. Of course, I don't have much experience with babies so maybe that's why but she is always talking, talking to us, telling strangers what is up, talking to herself. She "counts", reads books aloud to herself, exclaims to the heavens...she is a funny girl. She makes me laugh so hard.

She is a very sweet, happy baby. She will laugh through her tears. Unlike Sophie, she does get cranky when she is sleepy. That goes for naps and bedtime. She is super snuggly, always coming up to us for hugs and kisses. Her personality is changing though as she is getting more mobile, she tries to get away from me whenever I need to change her diaper or her clothes...I literally have to chase her around the room.

She LOVES dogs...I have been afraid of dogs all my life but she likes them so much that I pretty much have gotten over my fear. She loves birds, hence the reason I got bird bedding for her. She is a cautious girl and takes things in instead of jumping right in...but once she is comfortable, she is fearless.

Toby sounds like Kenna. He is such a show off. He also likes his own way a lot. He totally loves older kids, he stares at them in awe, I think thats because of having 2 older brothers. He doesn't move to anything, he'll just sit and shout until he gets it. He is very loud all the time really. He also laughs a lot at people hurting themselves which is slightly worrying...

Vincent is so happy most of the time and even when he's not it doesn't seem to take much to calm him down. Except for diaper changes which are the devil apparently. He does get upset when he doesn't get his way but even when he's upset he doesn't really throw tantrums or anything and he's not very loud - his volume is just naturally turned down. He babbles a lot but really isn't a big talker like some of these babies seem to be and doesn't really
say any words yet - I think he said Dog the other day and he still does strings of dadada (and mamama when he's upset) I think he's really an observer - he really studies things before he does anything with them. He's starting to be able to entertain himself for a while too, which is great. He's also not really daring unless he's really fascinated by something or wants something really badly. He seems to be slower to develop in general so it will be interesting to see how his personality changes as he learns to walk and talk. He's definitely a mommy's boy too. He's just really a pretty easy and content baby although he does have his moments.

My daughter is the opposite. If someone says "ow!" she'll start whining. She doesn't want anyone hurt ever, even if she kicks them in the face (which she does to me quite a bit).

Kenna sounds exactly like Aidyen! Down to the T. He is soooo demanding, loud, into everything especially if he is not supposed to be in it. He will scream not cry but a loud high pitch scream and will throw himself back if you take something away from him or even worse if his brother tries to get him from me when I am cooking or doing something in another room. But then he is super sweet and such a love. He will hit or scream and then when I tell him no hitting he will kiss me.

Oh, my! It is insane how you can have multiple children and each one is SOOO different.

Okay, so Kellen is my CRAZY energetic, happy, whiny man: He wakes up in the morning and whines/shrieks until I get him. Then, he whines while I make his bottle. He's only a happy squealing baby when I put him on the floor...however, if he gets any indication that I'm about to block him from something (usually for his own safety), he squeals, cries, and throws his body at the object I'm trying to block. He cries/whines if I pick him up, trying to dive out of my arms, and cries/whines if I restrain him in his stroller. He really is a happy little man when he's getting his own way. He is definitely trying to prove his independence but I seriously go crazy with the whining a crying all day. If I could let him run free, I would! He's also a dancing maniac. If music is on, he literally throws his body from side to side and cracks up at himself. He has a great sense of humor, and I can usually turn off the crying/whining by playing a quick game of cat and mouse!

He only stops moving when he's asleep...which must be a boy thing because I could plop both girls with their toys and they'd at least be content for a few minutes.

I love him but what a little energy drainer!!

^This sounds like my LO, except she can go through the throes of Mommy-itis and is a huge jokester, doing things just to get a rise out of me!
