Little Personalities :-)
Have any of you started noticing your baby's personality traits and some little quirks they may be developing?
I am having so much fun getting to know my little guy as he starts moving around more and responding to certain things I do, or sounds he hears or things he feels. It is just so cool how we can get to know our little ones before they're even born!
Some of the things my little Greydon does:
He's earned himself a nickname already--"Taz." I swear, throughout most of the day, it feels like he does that cyclone spin that the Tazmanian Devil character does, and he is just WILD! Lol, I was telling my husband the other night, "You know, I'm beginning to think Greydon is going to be even more of a handful than Trevor is once he's mobile."
I think he's beginning to recognize voices. In fact, I'm almost certain of it. He responds with certain movements to my voice, Brandon's voice, and Trevor's voice. Mostly Trevor's, but I think that's because Trevor is a loud mouth, lol, so naturally, that's who Greydon probably hears loud and clear most often. He gets really excited when he hears Trevor, he gets calm when he hears Brandon, and me...well, I guess it just depends on my mood.
He likes music. When he hears music, his movements calm down.
He does NOT appreciate when our stupid cat steps on my stomach (and I don't either!). He can be calmly moving around, listening to the outside world as I'm lying on the couch or my bed, and if Sybil the cat somehow manages to evade my attempts to keep her from using my stomach as a catapolt launcher (no pun intended), boy I'll tell you what--it's not just me that gets p!ssed!
And this is by far what I find the most fascinating--Greydon can tell the difference between my touch and his daddy's. When he's having a "Taz" moment while I'm trying to get to sleep at night, placing my hands on my stomach and gently massaging it, or rolling over, or whatever I try to do to calm him down so I can get to sleep doesn't really do much. He just keeps up the gymnastics. But I have noticed in the recent weeks that all it takes to get him to calm down and go to sleep within less than 10 minutes is...his daddy's touch! It is truly amazing! All Brandon has to do is put his hand on my stomach; he doesn't even have to rub my tummy, he just puts his hand down and that's it. He doesn't even have to talk! The response from Greydon is almost immediate. He stops moving the moment he feels Brandon's hand, then he starts moving again after a few seconds, but gets calmer and calmer over the next few minutes until he falls asleep! It works *every time*! It is so cool!
So I'm thinking...after he's born and he's completely inconsolable for whatever reason...he's totally getting handed off to Daddy, lol! Clearly, he has some sort of magic touch that I don't!

I have not figured out my little ones personality too much yet. I do know that he will be in love with his grandma. When ever he hears my mothers voice he starts to kick and become extremely active. I told my mother that he loves to hear her voice. I beleive that its very soothing to him. i visit my mother most mornings now that I am laid off work. So when i get to my moms house in the morning, like clock work she is in the kitchen or doing something while singing. I think that during my pregnancy my little one has grown accustomed to that. Its very special. I would sing, but my voice is nothing like my moms. lol
My boy bops around like crazy when his big sister sings into my belly. He also head butts my cervix when Daddy plays his heavy metal music and he loves the sound of a Harley starting up. I can already pinpoint on a clock when his active times of the day are. He seems to have his own little routine of activity in there.
