Mom (me): no I'd say not gifted, though I was told I read early (don't recall). Dad is currently getting his PhD in Economics, but he's never been tested or anything. Maybe we just have a smart little cookie and not anything too out of the ordinary.

If your DH is studying Economics in anywhere reputable, I think he needs to be at least moderately gifted to get a Ph.D.

There, I think there is a high chance your little one is gifted. Whether he needs anything special is a whole other story. He may be what people call optimally gifted in which case he will ace all the exams and do great in life with no added emotional burden at all. Things only get dicey when someone is highly/profoundly gifted.
