Do babies personalities change as they get older?

DS is almost 9 months and I dont know if it is has to do with teething (he is getting his 2 top in at the same time) or his presonality. For the last 2-3 weeks he wants to stay up later, he gets so angry when he has to wait for something. Also going to be is not as enjoyable as it was. I would give him his bottle, put him in his crib and he would just fuss and whine for about 5 minutes and then he would pay attention to the mobile and go to sleep within another 5-10 minutes. Now, after I feed him he doesnt want me to hold him after I feed him, I put him down in the crib and he screams like he is being attached. I do notice that if I put him to bed at 7:30 instead of 6 he doesnt do this bednight drama so I think that is just because he wants a later bedtime. Now he is also getting up at least once a night. It takes me usually about 2 hours to calm him down and on bad nights I put him in bed with us but DH both agree that we do not want to do that anymore. I am hoping that it is his teeth because he usually only wakes in the middle of the night when he teething but he has been doing it every other night for a while now. I have no problem letting him CIO but for some reason it is getting harder for me since he has gotten older. I guess it's because I know he looks for me now. Is anyone going through this now also or did anyone go through this already?
Sorry it is so long.

I think its a little bit of teething, adn a little bit of growing up.

I noticed Jordana now is getting more of her own will. She wants things now- when before she was just content. If I take away something she wants to play with, she throws a tantrum. I think they now have likes and dislikes, wants and desires and are just learning about disappointment.

I think this is where the spoiling, deailing with life parenting stuff comes in. When Jordana throws a "tantrum" when I take something away from her or put her to bed when she doesn't want to but is definitely ready, I just let her cry it out for a little, or hold her and rock her and if its over a plaything, I just show her somethign else.

I don't know if I am doing the right thing. I hope to be teaching her that we don't always get what we want, and its Ok to be disappointed, but then you move on. I have no idea if I am actually doing that- but hey- at least I have good intentions, right?

I think it's probably a mixture of both, teething can do funny things to babies! Also I find that DS now is forming his own little personality with likes/dislikes and a little moodiness thrown in. I'm sure it's all normal!
