I'm with you. My earliest memory is from my second birthday. Not many, if any, other memories from that early though

  How do you know that is where you got the memory? Early birthdays can be tricky because it is common for families to record them on video and if you saw such a video a few years later that could create a memory that you would think was from the birthday itself. Personally I don't trust most memories I have from before around 4 because my parents had around 20 reels of home movies from that time and I know that I saw several of those movies a few years later.

    I fell off a countertop and got a concussion when I was 2.5, it's a very vivid and painful memory. I also moved to a different state when I was 5. I have a very clear delineation of before and after the age of 5, and I have hundreds of memories from before the move. Most are rather intense events, but I even remember the layout of my house, construction sites, my daycare, neighbors, friends houses, holidays, first bike ride, first lizard I caught, my pets, even some dreams I had, etc... I didn't have a good idea of time yet, but I can retroactively tell when things occurred based on facts I later learned, like when certain neighbors moved, even my sister was born, etc...

    We didnt have anything to film with & there are no pictures from that day. I remember only a specific moment: we went to pick up my grandpa and i recall the shirt he was wearing very precisely. I can’t guarantee that the memory is genuine, but it is very specific and I had to reconstruct my age from discussing the memory with my mom.
