From Cat:

What differences in personality are you seeing between the kids?

Hmm. Well, it's kind of hard to say since I don't remember a lot about Lauren at this age. The things I remember are sleeping habits, crying jabs, spitting up, and stuff like that.

[Matthew can't stand being stuck in his carseat, but Lauren is usually ok with sleeping an entire trip. The car doesn't lull him to sleep like it does her. Lauren took a long time to figure out her nights and days, and Matthew got it very quickly. He practically sleeps through the night already- maybe gets up once or twice to eat- and it took Lauren almost 6 or 7 months to do. She had issues with major spitting up until she was 9 or 10 months old, but he only does it right after he eats. As for crying, I'm undecided who cries more LOL]

I will say that both kids generally wake up very smiley in the morning. They're both pretty laid back, so long as they're either being paid attention to or have something fun to do or to look at. So far for Matthew, I think he demands more attention than Lauren did.. but it could be his age, still. When Lauren was that young, I could lay her on a blanket on the bed or the floor and surround her with toys. She would be content for quite a while, so I could do stuff around the house. Not so with Matthew. At least not yet.. he'd much rather be held.
