I, too had two kids with GD. My oldest (now 4.5 years) won't stop talking, but maybe it had something to do with his now-flat out refusal to go to the potty? The younger is only 17 months, but she's already longing for her first cell phone. Seriously.

GD only, but not Type I or II? Hmm, that's interesting!

Oh please. I had GD with both my kids. The oldest was born 2 months early and has a better vocab than my full-term nephew who was born a few days before my son. My other child is too young to talk, but she can babble up a storm.
