Smarty-pants

Luka is getting brighter and brighter on a weekly basis.  He is transforming into a toddler before our eyes.   Right now he can get down from furniture, crawl down the stairs, take steps from the couch to the chair. He has calmed down so much.  As an infant he fussed and cried so much, and even as recent as a month ago he still had his evening crankiness and fussiness.  But, now he is much more content, and rarely cries.  He only gets upset when we don't give him what he wants (a cup of coffee, a cell phone, the t.v. remote, a potato chip. etc).  Even at "Book Babies" he plays with other children differently than he had.  He's one of the only babies I've seen actually sharing.  A lot of them like to snatch toys out of other babies hands (and Luka does this, too), but Luka also likes to give it back.  He gasps in excitement when Eric comes home from work, and lifts his arms for Dad to hold him.  And you can tell he just wants Eric to hold and hold and hold him.  The only thing that is not changing is his sleep habit.  He still wakes at least twice a night and I have to go in and put him back to sleep.  But other than that he is growing and maturing in giant leaps.
