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?

It gets so much better when they can smile. And then laugh. And then babble! We're at 7 months right now, and it's so much better than the angry potato stage. Newborns are adorable and snugly. Older babies start actually being fun.

Ha, "angry potato stage," that's hilarious.

I'm going to melt when my daughter starts laughing, I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.
