Seasonal Personalities

I found this article - "Babies born in winter are bigger, brighter and more successful" (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/babies-born-in-winter-are-bigger-brighter-and-more-successful-523070.html).

Here are some funny and interesting highlights:

• "Compared to summer births, those born in winter were significantly longer at birth, and were heavier, taller and had larger head circumference at age seven...The overall pattern of findings is that winter/spring babies are both 'bigger' on the anthropometric variables and 'smarter' on the selected neurocognitive variables." - I'm not so sure about this big head business but the rest sounds good!
• "People born in the autumn live longer than those born in spring, and do not become as ill in old age." - Yay, I will have more time to embarass the baby when it's older!
• "The season of birth can also influence whether a person is an optimist or pessimist. Yet it is the summer's babies that have a brighter outlook than winter-born grumblers." - Neil now thinks he is Mr Sunshine and says he will try and make the baby not turn into a grump! Lol.
