Jenny, reading what you said I know you are right....For me, DS25mo. being my second child I compare everything to my DS4..normal I assume. Their milestones have been somewhat identical. There are differences though and that is what I think is throwing me off determining if DS25 mo. is gifted or not. I know all kids are different, but I as far as giftedness I only know what I saw DS4 do, and I compare it to him.

You are right, I am sure he is gifted as well. The question is to what level, and THAT we can't know until they are older. You are so right about connecting with other parents of gifted kids. There are no groups in our area but this board has been a great help. It is sad you can't openly be excited when your child hits a milestone just because it is way ahead of the norm.
