10 Reasons Your Future Gemini Baby Will Be *The* Best

Geminis are natural charmers, and without a doubt are the people other people love to be around. They will absolutely use this to their advantage, so watch out, but I'm not going to lie, it also makes the typical childhood crap more bearable. They're the kind of kids that can just flash a mischievous smile and, suddenly, it's not such a big deal that they've painted all over the couch. (And, like, is it a big deal? Doesn't it kind of look better that way?)

Their natural intelligence and lively sense of humor means that your little Gemini will have an entertaining response for literally everything. They'll be able to buoy boring conversations and awkward social situations with their sparkling repartee. They do love to have the last word, which can be irritating as a parent but, again, they're so damn charming about it that it's more bearable than it would be otherwise.

Gemini are the Zodiac's social butterflies. Their quick minds and airy, fun-loving attitudes draw people to them, so they never want for a companion (which is good, because Gemini can't stand to be alone). This may sometimes lead to a whole lot of not-so-deep friendships, but don't be worried. While there will be a whole bunch of "acquaintance" friendships in your child's life (they may be the kid who seems to have a new BFF every other week), Gemini recognize and treasure deep, meaningful relationships of all kinds and will remain steadfastly connected to those with whom they form true bonds.

Gemini babies are the type you can just stick in a car seat or a play pen and take anywhere. They're not to troubled if their schedule is thrown off or if they have to go someplace new. They want to be where the action is anyway, so it's OK if you play it loose and fast with their routines.

Perhaps a Gemini's strongest suit is communication (they're rules by Mercury, and communicating is that planet's specialty). Whether in speech or writing, Gemini are all about talking things out, good or bad, to get a better handle on a situation or to let you know what's up with them. There's no sense in trying to avoid an important or meaningful conversation with a Gemini. Before you know it they'll have charmed you into baring your soul. (Don't worry, it goes both ways: they're equally willing to be vulnerable with you.)

So, so curious. This is probably an extension of their social nature: wide-eyed Gemini want to engage with everything in their world. Moreover, Gemini love novelty, so they're always on the lookout for something new to capture their interest (and, perhaps, a spot on their busy social calendar). Incidentally, between the communication, writing skills, and curiosity, Gemini are naturally excellent journalists.

Gemini love a good time, so much so that anything that stands in the way of that good time must be handled immediately. They are more than willing to roll up their sleeves and be the ones to take charge of the situation, no matter how unpleasant or difficult.

Artistic and dynamic and always able to look at things from a different point of view, Gemini love finding new and exciting outlets for all that energy. While they tend to be more wordy their creativity can take any form, from sculpture and dance to music.

Maybe it's because Gemini is represented by "The Twins," but they love to be part of something larger than themselves. This makes Gemini especially good at group projects, and their adaptability means they're just as happy to lead as follow — wherever they can shine best, really, and allow everyone else to shine.

And of course, it should go without saying, that this will make them magnificent additions to Team Family.

Who doesn't love a good snuggle with their little one, right? Fortunately, Gemini will be more than happy to oblige because not only are they going to tell you how much they love you (communication FTW!) they're also always down for a good cuddle.
