Did your advanced baby become a gifted child?

He was behind in just about every other area that is quantified as a milestone, namely crawling, speaking, pulling up, pincer grip, two-word combos, standing on one foot, crawling, stacking, babbling, pointing, rolling over ... you name it.

The one thing that was clearly evident from the time he was about 1-2 months old is that he had rudimentary critical thinking skills going on in there.

This is my gifted kid exactly.

How exactly does a 1-2 month old demonstrate critical thinking?

DC-area moms kill me.

Then, I guess, enjoy the life you've created for yourself in Phoenix?

In the mangled words of Justice Stewart, you'll know it when you see it. Well, not you exactly, because you probably have to Google "Potter Stewart" (right? right??) and you also don't have to worry about seeing it or not seeing it in your offspring, I suspect. But in general.

Notice there are still no specifics about what this might look like in a 1-2 month old baby. This post just went into DCUM hall of fame status.

I don't need to google him. I'm an attorney and was a clerk at the Supreme Court. Are you likening gifted behavior to hard core porn?

For her early milestones she walked on-time, started speaking on-time, but was speaking in sentences early. Her comprehension once she hit 2 also really exploded (still probably the upper end of normal). I guess we'll see in a few years, but I'm still leaning towards normal. The grandparents on the other hand... They are going to inflate her little ego big time!

My son is 3 and I don't even know what milestones for 4-5 year olds are. In fact I didn't even think the term milestones was used beyond the toddler years. My poor kids.

Right? Still waiting ... that gifted 6 week old must have been a spectacular pooper.

I'm 16 weeks pregnant & can already tell my fetus is profoundly gifted by the well thought-out, rhythmic way in which she kicks from within hallowed my womb.

Love you!
My sister just had her first round of IVF treatments today. We all know she is making a genius!

-not the Pp, but still waiting for these answers!
