Evan was so similar. I had to entertain him constantly. He put me off to babies for nearly 4 years! Laurie is my reward for having dealt with Evan, she is so easy to put down and let play for long stretches. So have heart, even if Punk never improves as a baby from this, as a preschooler Evan's not so bad and can play on his own, and if you have #2 you might get a lucky break.
