Does anybody else on here have an advanced baby?

Question

My son which is 2months/9 weeks was holding his head up at birth, very content and observant. He started cooing at 4 weeks and saying vowels at 5 weeks, and now saying M's, N's and T's. He cant roll over but can turn on his belly, can hold his head up at a 90 degree angle, can push himself up to stand, can left his upper body up to sit up in my arms, and loves spanish over english when playing with bilingual toys probably cause i played spanish cd's for him when he was in me. he has to be doin something at all times when his awake or he gets fussy or bored, what things and toys or devices can i do or purchase to keep up with his intelligence?

I will not be one of those moms, but I just want to know how to handle him and nurture his intelligence at such an early age.

Answer 1

Leap Frog makes wonderful toys for children. My 3 yo can count to 1000 in english and 100 in spanish thanks to Leap Frog toys. Don't get me started on his reading!

Answer 2

Ok, my son was turning over in newborn nursery, speaking 2 word sentences at 6 months, full sentences at 1 year. Walked at 9 months, Wheelies on a bike at 3 years old.

Read to him, read and talk about the pictures, read some more. Go for walks and talk about what you see.

Get building toys, blocks, construction, puzzles, books (did I say that). Lots of activity toys, get him involved in sports and other activities.

Don't use baby talk, spoke to my son as an adult, his 5 year old vocabulary included words such as oxymoron and negotiate. He was doing long division in his head in kindergarten, as well as multiplying. He new all about animals from the difference between African and Indian elephants to the eating habits and gestation periods of marine mammals.

EEEKKK! I knew it was too good to last, he was ADHD, dyslexic and dysgraphic amonth other learning problems, Did not read past 1st grade level until he was 12.

He caught up to his classmates in 4 years and is now in the Navy.

Give your son opportunities to develop and make his own decisions, but do not push him

Answer 3

My son, now 18, was very similar. He developed very quickly and now has an IQ of 151. Only problem was that he didn't fit in well with his peers, so he became very mischievous. While it is nice and flattering for you to see that your child is very intelligent, don't put pressure on him. When he gets older take him to cultural events such as opera and ballet. Art museums and history museums often have classes over summer break that continue to challenge him. Don't forget sports as well.
Keep in mind though, you should encourage him to develop his talents and intellect, but don't try to enroll him in school early and such. It is not good for his social development. This may be hard to accept, but children like this have a difficult time fitting into society. Enjoy the natural 'smarts' he has, but don't forget to let him be a child!

Leap Frog toys are great. I just got my 4 month old son a few different ones for Christmas. He too has been holding his head up since birth. He also has 2 teeth. His Pediatrician said he is ahead of his time. Also Fisher Price toys that are like 6mnths plus are very good. Try them out..

Answer 5

My daughter is very advanced too. She was able to roll over from the day she was born, walked at 7 months, spoke in 3-4 word sentences at 13 months, rode a bike without training wheels at 2 1/2, and rode a Razor scooter (able to do tricks on it too) at 3 years old. She is now 4. She reads simple books, is excellent at sports, and loves to learn. She lags behind a bit socially and emotionally though. I would suggest letting him develop at his own pace but always be open to introducing him to new things. Books are excellent. You can learn so much from them. Basic toys are great too so that he can use his imagination. Balls, blocks, art material, books, puzzles, games, music, and you. Make sure not to push him too hard. Help him to learn how to relate to his peers as that seems to be something advanced children tend to have trouble with. Good Luck!

Answer 6

Honey I am not trying to be rude But Your baby is an avarge 2 month old baby, As for the vowels I thought My daughter was doing the same thing It's Just baby coos. And he is rolling over if he can rool from his back to his belly that is really good. I have a 15 month old Little girl named Faith and She Knows all her colors and she can say them all she can count to 10 and say her abc's front and back, she also knows all her shapes. She loves to say her numbers in spansih, and it is really good you are exposing him to other langues to him that is good you are doing a great job

Answer 7

talk to your pediatrician to find out what he recommends. All the advice i can give you is don;t be one of those moms that has to be all, "well MY baby did that at this age," and "MY baby has been able to do that for AGES now," there is nothing worse than a mom who feels she has to shove her baby and all his glory into other womens faces constantly.

EDIT: I hope I didn;t sound like I was telling you thats what you were doing, I wasn;t...it is just thats one of the things I hate the most about other moms that i have to deal with. Good luck with everything.

Answer 8

Honestly, it sounds to me like he's progressing at a normal rate, not advanced. It's funny because my friend seems to think her son is advanced, and he really can't hold his head up yet. He reminds me of a bobble head. I know as a Mom if they say anything that remotely sounds like a M or a N we think they're a genius. But really, they're just making baby sounds. My youngest said Mom at three months, but it was really just her mummbling. But keep teaching him sounds and playing with him, they love it! Good luck with the little guy!

Answer 9

properly, the Sedin twins play for the Canucks, yet i think of they're the only twins in the NHL precise now. this is one out of 30 communities, so i could day you have a three.33% threat of having twins, in accordance to the main present day hockey records. /snark And who says hockey followers be attentive to no longer something approximately pregnancies? The Doppler could honestly be choosing up your own heartbeat, or it may be registering what they call a "static echo" (the sound of the heart beat bouncing off the in the placenta). The pulsing of blood in the path of the umbilical twine may additionally sound like a heartbeat, especially if that's what you're searching for. a minimum of, that's what my voluminous analyze uncovered whilst i became spending hours fidgeting with the doppler on my spouse's abdomen (the two pregnancies) and that i became somewhat watching for twins because of the fact my mom is a twin and her mom had twin brothers. i became going to call them Luke and Leia. yet do no longer basically take a hockey fan who's a father's be conscious for it... "whilst you're choosing up a heartbeat in 2 places at sort of a similar fee (interior of 10 bpm or so) then assume its basically a single infant's heartbeat in 2 places. even nonetheless, whilst you're choosing up a heartbeat in 2 places at substantially differnent beats in line with minute (ei: one is a hundred thirty and one is one hundred sixty) then that is greater of a demonstration of twins. the only thank you to truly be attentive to whilst you're having twins nonetheless, is thru an ultrasound. " flow Canucks flow!

Answer 10

from personal experience, let him read the newspaper. i started reading newspapers when i was 3. it's great - your son can spread the paper out, and associate the pictures with the words. you will need to help him form the words at first, but with his high IQ he will catch on very quickly. they will likely want to advance him quickly when he starts school, as they did with me -- be sure he doesn't advance more than one year for social reasons. best of luck with your little genius
