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?

    A lot of parenting advice comes from “I tried X thing at the same time that the behavior happened to change” and a lot of the time what the parent was doing when the change happened was a coincidence (see B.F. Skinner’s superstitious pigeons).

    THIS. If nothing else, THIS. So THIS.
