What happened to your smiley happy baby?

[Malaysiatrulyasia]

We have a 2 month old who is an absolute delight, he spends all day smiling, sleeps reasonably well at night and barely cries, we can't believe our luck and have to try very hard to conceal our smugness from anyone who asks how its going .

However I'm fully aware (and am constantly reminded by DM and DMIL) that this will likely not last forever, is nothing to do with our parenting and he will soon develop into a tantruming toddler or teenager who hates me haha. So I was just wondering if anyone else had a super sweet baby and how did they turn out?? Is their personality as a baby any indicator of future personality?

My happy smiling baby turned into a happy smiley 50 year old. She had a period (about 15 years of age) when she spent most of her time in her room. But as she used to say "don't worry Mum, it's just a phase".

Some people are just that way. Happy and smiley. I'm much that way myself. Like everyone, she and I have had our separate ups ups and downs. But, by and large, we are lucky. Neither of has ever had mental health issues.

But we know that's down to luck, and don't ever underestimate that luck.

I might have had my physical ailments, but, thankfully, my mental health, and my DDs, has always been great
