I was actually in GT denial for a long time. I started to question things when he was closer to 4 years old.

My oldest son had a gross motor delay so we actually thought he was at the opposite end of the IQ pool. I do have a picture of him at around 9 months barely sitting up in a boppy pillow holding 3 stacking cups. He had great fine motor control in comparison to his lack of gross motor skill.

Around that time he also was saying many words and signing many more. I have his first "real" words recorded as "Tickle, Tickle" while trying to tickle my arms at nine months. My son also loved playing with quarters before his first birthday--he never even tried to eat one. He liked to hold them and line them up. Looking back I'm sure everyone thought I was crazy for letting him play with quarters.
