Girl, Second Child, or Personalty?

There is no doubt that Macie has a different personality than her brother. Carson would sit and watch a Baby Einstein video while Jeff and I ate dinner when he was really little. Macie won't sit anywhere for that amount of time. Carson always looked forward to his naps, Macie would rather take all her naps in the car. Macie keeps trying things until she gets them or figures out another way to do something. Carson still doesn't like to try things until he knows he can do it. (This weekend, Jeff blocked Macie in the family room to keep her from pulling apart Carson's train tracks. It took her a little while, but she finally figured out how to crawl under the exersaucer. Then, she got her head stuck between the couch and a gate trying to get past the gate.)
Anyway, I get lots of people telling me why this is the case. Lots of people tell me girls are just different than boys. Others say its the difference in a first and second child. I tend the think it has a lot to do with personality. Usually I just get and opinion without asking, but I thought I would throw it out there and see what ya'll think. Where does this feisty little girl come from?

I have been meaning to post this since you put it in the other day but have not had time. You know how it is. I think it has to be personality because she sounds exactly like Jake but he is 1st & a boy. He is a little daredevil most of the time. Just noises and now we know helium balloons scare him. But he tries to jump off the arms of the couch every time we put him on it. I think it's great that Carson and Macie are different though. I am sure they are similar in lots of other ways though.
