DD2- I'm still in the "suspect" stage with her. She is so different than the boys that it's hard for me to tell. She can use a screw driver to take things apart. When DS4 was learning the sounds the different letters make a few months ago, she was picking it up with him. She wakes me up in the middle of the night to show me new things she can do. At 15mo, when she wasn't really talking during the day even in single words, she woke me up to have a conversation with me. DH told me I dreamed it until she did the same thing the next night and woke him up talking. She woke me up at 17mo to count to 5 for me, then a few weeks later, again to count to 11. I think it's because it was the only time she could get a word in edge wise between her older brothers, lol.
-Hellooooo!

I think that may be it, the second, third, etc. child isn't as obvious because the attention isn't solely on them. They are much sneakier!

I actually remember now, Ped bending down and saying to big sis: "You do NOT do the talking for your sister......" I think ages 3 and 1 or 4 and 2.........
