Overview

Eager to get going (this baby probably kicked up a storm in the womb!), the Gemini baby is likely to be talking early and making a mark from day one. Curious and quite the explorer, this tot is one who needs lots of stimuli in order to be happy, as they are easily bored. Since those communication skills are top-notch, the smart thing to do with this baby is bring them into a play group as soon as possible. At home, siblings could easily fill this function, as someone must! It's never too early for the Gemini baby to interact with others, and they will also learn their lessons early on. The Gemini tot is definitely not clingy. Quite the contrary, this is one baby who is happy to march to their own drummer, gallivanting about and being amused in the process. Surprisingly, when this baby is not engaged (chatting or playing with others), there could be a certain emotional detachment. For that reason, it's best to keep things uncomplicated and easy for them to understand, the better to maintain harmony. To sum up, the Gemini baby is the Great Communicator of the play group, has a short attention span (so keep 'em busy!), and is one clever and creative tot.

Early Gemini: May 21 to 30

Gemini is the communication sign, and these kids usually learn to talk and read well before their peers. Your babe is a little smarty pants, and she'll implore you to read her endless bedtime stories, although she'll be reading them herself in the blink of an eye. Clever, witty and funny, she's also endlessly curious about everything and everyone. This will make her a favorite amongst her friends, and an amazing student, if she can stay focused on one thing long enough.

Mid Gemini: May 31 to June 9

This is the sign of "the Twins," and sometimes you'll wonder if your child has two personalities. Her moods can change in a flash, which is a blessing when you're trying to distract your babe from something she doesn't like. Your little one is exceptionally intelligent and very curious. As she grows, she'll keep you on your toes with her continual "but why?" questions. Her teachers will love her. In fact, she could end up becoming a wise professor herself one day.

Late Gemini: June 10 to 21

Gemini rules the hands, and these tiny tots will be using theirs almost constantly. Baby signing was practically invented for these smart and quick babes, and your wee one will take to it and perfect it, almost immediately. Smart and social, she'll be very popular as she grows, and will be involved in a myriad of after-school events. A cell phone and computer will be mandatory for her at an early age too, to help her stay connected to friends and keep her in the know.
