8 Fascinating Facts About September Babies

September ushers in a new season, the start of school, vibrant leaves, and a refreshingĀ chill in the air. And it alsoĀ bringsĀ lots of amazing babies (and we meanĀ lots!). Here are some fun facts about your September sweetie...
September is a popular birthday month.
September hasĀ 11 of theĀ top birthdays in the nationāand,Ā more babies are born on September 9th than any other day of the year! (Perhaps this baby boom is due to parents feeling especially amorous around the winter holidays...)
September babies have a versatile and meaningful birthstone.
Sapphire is Septemberās gem. Itās traditionally blue, but did you know it can be pink, yellow,Ā or green? Sapphires are said to stand for sincerity, faithfulness, and truth (qualities we all hope to impart in our children, right?). Itās been a stone worn by nobility for ages in cultures spanning the globe (ancient Greeks and Romans held that the traditionally blue stone protected against harm and envy, while among Middle-Ages Clerics sapphire represented heaven).
September babies are VirgosĀ and Libras.
If your birthday falls in the beginning of the month, youāre a Virgo, best known for being practical, loyal, and organized. After the 22ndĀ youāre a balanced, social, and fair-minded Libra. (Read more about the personality traits of every zodiac sign!)
More About Your September Babyās Virgo Sign
Hello, miss or mister smarty-pants! Virgos are like little walking encyclopediasāconstantly gathering and sharing information. Theyāve got incredible attention to detail (donāt be surprised if their favorite āgameā as a toddler is lining up all their toy trucks or sorting their dollyās clothes by color). While their very-together personality should serve them well throughout their lives, Virgos can sometime get a little too in their heads and turn that discerning eye on themselves (you may need to remind your tiny Virgo that itās okay to make mistakes!).
More About Your September Babyās Libra Sign
One mini bestie, coming right up! Libra is the sign of partnership, so expect your little Libra to rack up lots of friends! Ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, Libras gravitate toward pretty things (think: sparkly shoes and colorful tees). Thereās a reason the āscalesā are a stand-in for Libras. Those born under this sign are always weighing their options to be as fair as possible (this trait will come in handy on the playground!). The downside is that in their quest for balance, sometimes Libras can be wishy-washy, and their love of people can make it hard for them to be alone. Ā
SeptemberĀ babies haveĀ twoĀ stellarĀ birth flowers.
Asters and morning glories are the flower of this end-of-summer month.Ā AsterĀ originates from Greek and means starāso sweet for a little starlet! Morning glories also have aĀ stellar connectionātheir centers are star-shaped.Ā
September babies excel at school.
One BritishĀ study suggestsĀ that September babies may have a leg up in the classroom. Kids born in this month were 20% more likely to get into elite schools...maybe because theyāre the oldest ones in their grade.
September babies have an edge on the sports field.
Have you noticed that all of your favorite athletes have birthdays in the last quarter of the year? Thatās because fall-born babies tend to be stronger andĀ more athleticĀ than their summer-born peers (again, this is likely due to being olderāand biggerāthanĀ the rest of the kids in their class).Ā
September babies may have long lives ahead of them.Ā
September-ites are more likely to live to 100! Babies born from September to November have aĀ higher chance of hitting the century-mark, perhaps from being protected through the first winter by all the great immunity in breastmilk.
September babies share their birth month with lots of A-listers.
September celebs include Beyoncé, Zendaya, Idris Elba, Keanu Reeves, Gwyneth Paltrow, Padma Lakshmi, Salma Hayek, Taraji P. Henson, Jason Sudeikis, Donald Glover, and Prince Harry. Talk about star-studded company!
