He kept rolling over in his stomach at three months which I had to call the pediatrician because any literature says they can only do it safely by six. He was standing up and gliding by seven months and walking confidently and dunking balls by eleven months. I am not bragging I just need support. He is fifteen months and he literally pushes furniture to the counter and trys to climb , grabs books all day to me to read to him and dunks balls all day!

My daughter, she just turned 2.5 years old had surpassed many of them on the Advance/gifted chart. She stands by herself at 6 months old and start walking at 8 months old, she literally was able to engage in book reading since 4 months old, open the page by 5 months.
And tonight she wrote a letter “H” (which is first letter of her name)
Many more. We always record her milestones

At times we can have entire conversations with her although her vocabulary is still limited at this point (and she still speaks some gibberish too.) She pointed at me and looked back and forth in our directions as we were taking turns talking to her in the hospital at 1 day old. The nurses said she was very alert. Ever since she was 4 months old, she will intently watch videos especially with classical music for over 20 minutes at a time. She started playing peekaboo with me at 6 months old by hiding behind a cloth and then pulling it down and laughing. I never taught her that or thought she was old enough to play it yet. When I hand her clothes she will attempt to put them on by pulling them over her head or setting them on her legs. She can successfully put on scarves. She has boxes and boxes of toys because she gets bored so quickly, I cycle them around.
She pretends to “read” books with her finger moving over the words and can turn the pages by herself. Here is the real kicker, they say she has down’s syndrome. I am not sure how any of this is possible. My older son was advanced and only started speaking 2 word sentences at 13 months and did not play games with me like this. Based on tests he took, he was placed in advanced courses in high school which he refused and later got a scholarship to study engineering at a prestigious college.
