If you had a happy baby, how long did s/he stay happy?

My baby girl is almost 5 months old. She has been a really happy baby, adjusts pretty well to change, takes things in stride, seems mostly delighted by life. It's such a gift to us, her parents!

If your baby/ies started out happy and well adjusted, did this remain a trait of their personality? How did it change or evolve over time?

Thanks for obliging my curiosity!

My babe was always happy, laid-back, adjusted well to change, etc. He's the same at 3 years. He has moments of meltdowns and outbursts but, overall, he's a happy, chill kiddo. I'm sure this isn't true for everyone but it is for us!

Enjoy your happy baby!

I second the above, however my dd is only 15 months. But so far, she's still happy for the most part.

Ds is only 15 mos but yeah, still the same happy baby. Not to say he doesn't have his moments of course.

My daughter was born happy and was a total breeze until she hit the "terrible twos" at exactly 18 months. Then she...wasn't so happy until she grew into herself a bit. Now she's almost five, and is as happy as ever - I think, minus a few sporadic phases and growth spurts, happy babies generally tend to be happy kids (and, hopefully, happy adults!).

My son is only 10 months, but so far he has continually been a happy, healthy, laid back little boy since birth! The only time he's cranky is when he's teething or if he's tired. Hopefully this keeps up!

DD1 was a very happy, independent, easygoing baby and toddler, but since she turned 3 has had some difficult times. She's extremely intelligent and interesting but intense and sometimes difficult to live with.

DD2 was a happy, laid-back baby who grew into a happy laid-back child. She's agreeable and easy to please, and has been since the day she was born.

DS was a miserable high-needs baby. He cried WAY more than average, woke every half hour all night for a whole year, nursed constantly, wanted to be held constantly, and needed all kinds of voodoo in order to get to sleep. But he has grown into an easygoing, independent, happy little child who makes friends wherever he goes and plays happily by himself or with his sisters for hours and hours. He still doesn't sleep worth a fart, though.

So I guess anything could happen, if you go by my examples.
