..is giddy about it


Explanation:
One is getting better at it, and the other is just 'giddy' about it.

If you feel giddy, you feel unsteady and think that you are about to fall over, usually because you are not well. [...] see reference at Collins dict.

be giddy (with: He was almost giddy with pleasure – Его чуть ли не "плющило" от кайфа epoost); be dizzy

disagree  Sofia Gutkin: "To feel giddy" is usually a positive thing, so it's the opposite to what is needed here. REPLY: If you're completely wrong? Yes. Why would you post an answer if you're clearly not familiar enough with English?
