By  myself, observing physical characteristics, I settled on an "embryonic 
layer"  theory. Like me, the first 2 must have had an abundance of endoderm, 
with very  efficient GI tracts, whereas he, taking after his dad's side, 
must have had  less of the endodermal layer, and therefore, perhaps not as 
efficient a baby  GI tract. So, I reasoned that therefore, he must have more of 
the ectoderm  (nerve tissue) and mesoderm (musculoskeletal), and gradually 
convinced myself  that he must be able to pick up sensations more acutely, 
and therefore, react  more obviously and actively.

~~~ This is not only fascinating but makes so much sense and I know already 
 will be very helpful in helping moms whose babies seem to suffer so much 
from GI  issues, are "high need", etc, but are otherwise healthy, wonderful  
children.
