One thing I do know, is that each kid is so different. I'm not so sure it's strictly gender-related, but every kid is definitely so different. While your babies were similar as young kiddos, mine are totally different in every way, right from the beginning!

I think boys tend to be less communicative, especially with their mothers.

And usually when they do talk it's because stuff has reached crisis proportions and they explode. I adopted my boys when they were seven and nine, so I didn't have them as babies or toddlers, but I miss those elementary school years.
