Having an infant is boring and I can't wait to have a toddler. (lemmy.world)

As of today, I have a 1 month old. She is amazing and I love her so much, but she's boring! Don't get me wrong, she's difficult and my wife and I haven't slept a good night in a month, but all she does is eat, sleep, and poop. There's basically no interaction.

I'm so looking forward to being able to laugh with her, play with her, and generally start teaching her the world.

How do you feel? What's your favorite stage of child development?

Oh yeah, we read to her, sit with her all the time, talk and interact at her, there's just little in the way of response. It's just grunts and squirms. She can't even see us yet.

We're enjoying when she's awake and content because we can watch her "look" around and learn her body. It's adorable. Just the past couple days, I've been noticing a bit more reaction to stimuli in a way that shows some curiosity.
