have they grown into noisy children? do you think it is affected by the family 'loudness' for want of a better word?
ds1 was not a particularly quiet baby but not overly vocal. now at four he is what i would consider a chatterbox, he is always gibering away to himself or the cat or his teddy, very rarely quiet although not a squealy child. whereas he has friends who only converse in a high pitched squeal.
but ds2 is 11 months and loves to squeal and shout. is this indicative of how he will be as a child? i dont think i can cope with constant squealing but if it is his nature i dont want to squash it and give him a complex about it.
