My 7-month old baby is a very quiet, calm and reserved baby. She is very easy to handle in general but she doesn't smile very much unless someone plays with her face to face. Most other time, she has very little expression on her face. On the other hand, when she gets angry, she can be quite loud.
I would like to hear from someone who has/had similar experience with their babies. Any feedback or suggestion would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Why do you worry ? It must be just a question of temper..But if you are really upset, check her hearing, I'd say.
(ps: excuse my french..)

As long as she is fine, respond well, there is no need to worry to much about. She might be a a mild temper or quiet in character. I had a friend who's daughter is also very reserved but she is very intelligent.
Count yourself lucky!!! I have 2 adorable , bright, cute children but My!! they are sure a handful.....

Thank you for all the replies so far. I thank God for having a baby who is very easy to handle. She can even go to sleep by herself. No hassle at all.
Her hearing and eye-sighting are perfectly fine. She laughs very happily when I play with her. But she just looks bored when there isn't much going on around her. I just wonder what I can do to keep her a bit more upbeat.

I am sorry you do not live in Shanghai. I would have been very happy to introduce her to my son of the same age who has got exactly the same temper !

Have music playing some of the time when she is awake - all kinds of music not just children's music. Put her where she can see you do whatever you do - maybe she is still learning to not look bored...how can she be - EVERYTHING is new!

My mother in law calls this kind of child "self contained" and it is a blessing! Congratulations! Her peacefulness may be a reflection also of a peaceful home life and calm mothering! My #2 child is like this. Since she doesn't "demand" my attention like the other two, I have to consciously ask myself what her needs are and what she would enjoy, to make sure she gets all the attention, quality time, and family resources she needs and deserves. Also, don't assume that your next children will be so easy! One of my friends says her first three were "easy" and then with the fourth child came "payback time!" :-)

It's certainly a big relief to know that I'm not alone. Music is being played at home almost 18 hours a day so it's not a new stimulus. "Meiguoren" I agree with you, perhaps my daughter is similar to the way you had described. I guess I just need to provide her with new things to keep her interested. I must say that I'm less worried now than a few days ago.
"TC", what you had told me about your daughters is informative, thanks.
