ahead of the curve

So Lukas seems to be functioning like a 5 month old in many respects, standing strong, bouncing, walking, etc. on two legs (supported), starting to try to crawl, etc., and he's been doing the standing and bouncing since he was 2 1/2 months old or so, maybe sooner. Not sure if that means anything, but it is striking. He plays with toys now, can manipulate his hands pretty well, and now grabs onto things. (The hand manipulation is just in the last few days, but it is still pretty precocious.) I'm not sure that any of the developmental things will play out in any significant way, but perhaps he'll always be super well coordinated & have a strong body.
I have been blessed with a Happy, healthy joy of a boy, and I'm so lucky.
Today I spent the day calling around to daycares, and I am determined to find one that would suit him. Perhaps I'll chuck the daycare situations and look for a nanny share if one turns up. It is pretty scary, not sure what I'll find.
I'm pretty exhausted, stayed up way too late reading an Elisabeth Moon SciFi book last night. I wanted to finish it so I could focus on the day care search, but I was so tired today, I'm not sure it was worth it.
