My oldest and my youngest are both what this lady calls "tension increasers" and which the book I mentioned also talks about as one possible aspect of spirited children. My middle child was sleeping through the night by eight months and all I had to do was set him in his crib and walk away. He'd fuss for thirty seconds and be out. So he was a tension decreaser. Okay, I'm rambling. I'll stop. Isn't it wonderfully awesome how much personality babies have from their very first moments? And as they grow and develop, you can even look back at how they behaved in utero and say "Ah ha!" :)
