SSSusan:
Another ditto from me!  Both my kids were early talkers and my son 
(6) *still* tends to talk non-stop, though my daughter (8 now) 
stopped talking so much once she taught herself to read.  But both my 
kids were very slow to crawl, walk & get teeth.  So I'll bet it's 
likely just another case of individual kids developing along their 
individual paths.  As JenP said, as long as you know her hearing is 
okay, I wouldn't sweat anything yet.

And JenP, what *I* really want to know is how my *youngest* got to be 
in kindergarten already!  Eeek!
