That if a baby does things quickly, faster than what would be consdered normal, that means it's getting out of the way for another baby?
Like crawling, walking, potty training........ at what would be considered to be at an age younger than normal.

I've never heard that one, but I do believe in "some old wives tales". My aunt is 100 yrs old & will be 101 on Thanksgiving day and she said something that sent a shiver up my spine. We were all just talking about a friends new baby one day, and she said out of the blue, " Do you see all the baby boys being born", I thought for a minute and yes I know so many boys that have been born recently like 3 times the girls. Then she said " that's Gods way of preparing for a war". With everything else going one & the bible storys coming true, that really gave me the willys! Now that I think about your old wives tale it makes perfect sense!

Old nurses say that it is like phases: couple years the majority of the babies born learn how to do everything faster than normal, they start walking very fast so that everyone gets surprised, and so on. Next couple years, most babies learn that normal or a bit slower.
This is a well known fact in psychology too.
I wouldn't think that this indicates that the baby is more intellectual. Sometimes learning to do things faster can harm the baby, like when it starts sitting up, walking faster: because the muscles might not yet be enough developed for that. I would not hurry things.
Or when the baby starts to talk early: there is some research that confirms that this might be an obstacle in the development of the child's thinking, imagination.
If i had a baby that would be a fast learner in this beginning stage, i would rather get anxious than glad and would have it examined by the doctor more often.
I used to read a lot about it. I hope that you get the idea.
I found it a bit hard to express in english.

No..not at all. My daughter is almost 6 and an only child, she was very advanced. Be happy that you have a smart kid :) But no it does not necessarily mean you are going to have another yet??
Walking, usually 1 year, crawling, I think 5-6 months, potty training usually 2 years old, I started at 18 months.

Don't even read the other posters or doctors or nurses or any others in healthcare field as well above or below here and their answers because they are definetly wrong for sure. The reason why is because medical birth hasn't been around since the beginning of time and has been here for since medival, spl times as I think. Personally, I'm not for this kind of birth, but when it is truly a medical necessary and not made up to medical necessary and scaring you and your family, friends, and etc. I'm not even milant as well as holadoc referred me to, but just wanted to you to aware of traditional birth as well. I know I haven't been pregnant or give birth yet, but that will happen in the future. Since ever subscribing to Mothering Magazines and like how I see things now from the past. Also, I volunteer in Maternity Department at the local hospital by me, so I see, and etc there as well. I recommed you don't show up for your the rest of doctor's appointments or don't consult the doctor or its office or the hospital either pre regisation or admission test or the section, and so on. Definetly don't listen to your dh or any of your family or friends or doctor or others . Definetly get a midwife that's isn't mainstream or stuff like that. Also, please try to breastfeed afterwards because it's it much more better then formula. Breastfeeding as around since the beginning of time and formula was introducted last half century so breastfeeding is way better then formula again. Also, do attactment parenting more then mainstream parenting because again it has been around since beginning of time and not like mainstream parenting when it has been around for at least a century now. Think thats it and good luck with it.

I was told that if a baby gets a tooth before 5 months old (or 4 I can't remember) that there would be another one soon. It's only true if you want it to be. And, only if you are trying to have another baby. All of mine did things early especially my youngest but there has not been another yet and he is three.

My son was advanced as was my daughter. They are 5 years apart. And by advanced I mean my daughter rolled over at a week old. I'm not even kidding and she did it in the dr.'s office and almost rolled off the exam table. I warned the dr. that I needed to hold onto her and he said she will be fine she is too young to roll on her own. She did it and he almost had a heart attack.

if the baby does things faster its due to higher intelligence what is normal anyway?

Nope. It means that they're advanced...plain and simple.
