I had never thought about the head control issue. I have been on this board for my first born who is 3.9 and I never thought too much about her head control. My second, who turned two last week, was one of those babies who picked her head up the moment they placed her on a table after birth and looked around the room. She rolled over at three weeks and smiled around that time too. I never correlated that to giftedness but got chills when I read all this thinking, oh no this one might also be gifted and who knows, more so--that's great and scary at the same time. People comment on what she knows and says all the time but I guess I take it for granted since this is all I Know.
