My son is two and a half months old now, smiling, cooing, flirting, and rolling over. I am so in love and enjoy this age very much, but I can't wait for him to be even more active and responsive. what was your favorite age and why?

Oh gosh, that is so hard. I guess if I could only pick one age it would be when they first start walking. They have a couple words and/or signs. They can play with toys and everything is so exciting and new. It is such a joy to see them when they wake up and they are still small enough to rock them to sleep. There are so many wonderful ages it really is hard to choose. I also love the cooing, smiling and when you hear that first giggle. When just sitting and talking to them is the best thing every and you are the person they love most.

My favorite age for a baby has got to be about 4 months (right when a baby can hold up it's head) to about 11 months. I find this age the cutest and sweetest of all. :)

I've always liked the newborn age the best. My husband prefers the toddler stage, because that's when babies get really fun to play with and start to speak and say really cute things.

I think that as my son has grown, each stage has become a favorite. There are so many new and exciting things that they do all along. Those first smiles and laughs were great, but as he has started talking and walking, it seems even better. My son is almost 18 months old now and running around everywhere. He talks in complete sentences and says some really funny things. He does throw tantrums, but no age is perfect. I think I will like it even more once we finally get him potty trained! Then we will be able to concentrate on more fun things. I do love it that he is still small enough to want to cuddle sometimes. And he is giving real kisses now without opening his mouth, so that is definitely a positive point about his age now.

That is a very hard question to answer. I love all the stages in different ways. I loved my baby but now he is a toddler and I love him for different reasons. Your love will grow and change as your son does. It's good though as each age has different things to love.

I love the age of two. They are so open to new information, they love learning, but they still want their cuddles and their love. Once they get older I find that you start to lose them, they go to nursery and then another world is important to them as well as yours. I know this experience is important, but it is hard too, to lose your baby.

I think there are great things about every age, yes even teenagers- lol! My guys were all very happy babies, so that was a great stage. I thought the "terrible twos" really weren't that bad, it's just that they're learning to be independent. They change so much during the early school years and that's neat to watch. And then if you're lucky, and they have good taste in music you've got someone to take to concerts when they're around 13 :) My eldest is an adult now, with a 8 month old daughter; the time really does fly by, enjoy every second of it.
