As a formally mute kid and still extremely quiet throughout my childhood (~6yo) I believe Laura didn't talk because a) she still wasn't sure she could trust Logan, b) the less you talk the more you're listening and observing, and c) she simply didn't need to. When she finally spoke it was after they lost Charles and she literally dragged his ass to a clinic. While the scene was played almost for laughs and they had a fight, this was the point she felt comfortable enough with him to talk.
