p3pp3r,
Ya, its a recent thing.. Kept waking up to be comforted..
missycandy,
Wah, if it happens, Ill go check my ears first. haha.. Anyway, on yr question on gifted bb..
If after 6 months, you find Kirsten is still faster in her development (social, motor, intellect) than her peers, you can also look out for 1) she seems to understand adult humour. 2) You read to her, "sheep" and she can point the animal QUICKLY. 3) She can do detailed motor skills like hold a pencil or transfer nuts neatly into a cup. Anyway, got a lot of things that u can look out for.. Try googling for gifted babies
Another thing is she may not be gifted but just very talented in an area. In her case, it could be language. Then you should put up fridge magnets of letters or read to her a lot, like 3 books a day to develop her talent.
