Having an infant is boring! (beehaw.org)

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?

After this it gets less boring, dont worry. I say enjoy the peace and quiet of kiddo being a potato right now.

My baby was a roller. He rolled way before he crawled haha. He would roll toward whatever was most dangerous in the room, sit up and start digging in. Houseplants? Outlets? Pulling books off the shelf? Haha

It is much more fun and amazing the more interactive they are, it only gets better. But sometimes I definitely missed boredom, haha
