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?

Welcome to parenthood! I'm not going to bore you with anecdotes about my kids. I'm a terrible parent who loves to complain non-stop to others but actually loves her kids to death :)
The only thing I want to part is, every stage is great and you're going to miss it when it's over. In a couple of years you're going to look back to the time when your daughter was so small and helpless and just swoon. You'd be wishing you could hold that helpless little thing in your arms again while currently being pelted with toys and cleaning up another spilled drink :)
