She's (roughly) seven months old, and almost always wants to at least be in the same room with us. We get loads of little 'head-butts,' licks, here-I-am-can-we-talk 'brrp?' chirp-meows (sorry for being so cute), rubs against our legs, etc, etc, etc. This kitten even sometimes spoons with you in bed...!
Is this going to continue, or is it just a kitten thing?

haha well unless something traumatic happens to the cat then it should stay the same, they have personalities like we humans do and the same rules apply.

Hello;
Will this continue. That depends upon you. If you love her back and continue to encourage this behavior, then she will stay her sweet loving self.
Generally, female cats are not as affectionate as male cats. However, if she feels secure, safe, and loved, she will return those affections.
I've had cats most of my life. My kitten/cat is 18 months old and she exhibited all of those same characteristics as you mentioned and now she still shows them. It seems the colder it gets, the more affectionate she becomes.

It will continue into adulthood, a cats behaviour towards people is mainly down to conditioning brought about by the contact with humans, so if you make a fuss of your kitten a lot (and lets face it only someone with a heart of stone wouldn't) it'll love you for it and continue to do so as it grows.
Many people think cats are stand-offish and independent - thats absolute rubbish, cats can bond with humans and enjoy their company just as much if not more than other cats.
Just keep enjoying your bundle of fluff and joy :)

She should continue in the same manner. However I notice with all the cats I allowed outside, that once you start letting them outs they become less affectionate and more independent. Simply that there's more going on in their lives so you're not the centre of their world anymore. If you decide to keep her as an indoor cat, she will probably always be "sooky" (that's what we call affectionate in Scotland).

Treat her with love and affection and she will stay the same - plus talk to her like she's your friend cos the love to be talked to. I've had one now for fifteen years and we have just got a pit bull dog 4 years old from a rescue centre and they sleep together and cuddle up - the dog is in fact as soft as the cat. And talk about jealous of each other if you talk to the other one!

Depends on the kitten. Had a cat that turned mean, but yet another stayed sweet.

Lucky you!!
At 7 months, your kitten's personality is pretty set, so she'll likely be this way for quite a number of years. Of course as cats age, they just have a bit less energy, so she may somedy slow down a bit, but likely always be a cuddler.
Enjoy!

Not to try and be a pessimist here...
My kitten was adorable, a real lap cat, always following you around. Now she can be a bit split personality, one minute as loving as her kittenhood the next minute making me look like I listen to emo and self-harm. I guess it's down to the cat's personality really. Mine wants to be independent (yea right, learn to use the tin opener then) but also cuddles. As smeone said to her friend, "she may look cute, but she'd as soon as rip your throat out". Ah, they joys of having cats. :)

It'll probably continue.
My cats have all be loving and affectionate. My one cat whom I've had since she was about 2 months old is still that way. Enjoy it!

yeah she should stay the same, i got my cat back in 2000 and he was so adorable and terrified of the outdoors, so we made him an indoor cat, and all he did was follow me around the house, and when i was gone he followed my dad until i came back home, he is now 6 years old and he follows me around the house still, and when i am not there he goes to my dad, then back to me when i return. :)
also he sleeps in my bed with me everynight so yes in answer to your question, they do keep the same personalitys just about
