My lil nikka is 7 months and even tho he loves being on his mom titty (eating). I thik i might be his favorite person right now. Nothing compares to seeing ya lil baby light up when they see u or hear ya voice.
Anyway my tip is to be extra careful with who u leave your baby with until they can start communicating with you when something is wrong or not right. Analyze what kind of men are in and out of the place you gonna be leaving ya seed. Even if it is fam (cousins, uncles, grand dad, whoever). Watch how that person interacts with ya kid or question his character before u even think about leaving him in that position because whatever happens when u not there is not in ya hands. A lot of pedo shyt is done by family and sometimes without the parent even being aware. just something to keep in mind.
On a positive note though, I am looking forward to his "terrible 2" in a weird way. Right now he relys on me for entertainment for the most part and he can't really crawl around the way he wants. I think the key is to keep them busy/entertained with lil tasks that help them learn as well. I got a lil game plan for the terrible 2 stage, but all of the dangerous shyt around the house that they can get into worrys the fukk outta me. Babies are curious as fukk and even at his age now he attempts to grab or play with everything that he isn't sposed 2. I could have a million toys on the couch with him in arm distance and he goes for my phone or remote everytime lol
