I'd like to announce and welcome Eve (my first born) to the world. Born 2252 Eve time on Wednesday 21/03/2012 weighing 7pounds.
Like EVE, she demands a lot of my time but I've mastered the art of holding her in one arm whilst on the laptop with the other.
Clear advantages of her have come to light.....
1) Due to her crazy sleep routines I've become a mixed time zone player
2) The misses doesn't summon me to bed whilst I'm on EVE atm
3) Paternity leave to be with Eve and on EVE.

Just you wait. They might appear cute (aside from certain smells) now, but wait until they grow up..
I'd kill kittens and puppies and bunnies
I'd maim toddlers and teens and then more |

LOL Or a kid who can blow dad up while he's still settling into his computer chair.  Watch out for playing video games with your kids. They have more energy than you do. Partly because as kids, they've already been draining your energy away all day. I guess you could consider it a kind of meta-gaming.
Congrats! |

Enjoy it until she starts showing interest in the keyboard. "Ooooooooooh buttons! *mash*mash*mash*"[1] At which point it's time to put the computer away and read books to her.
Also, studies have shown that the constantly changing images of TV/videos/etc., are detrimental to learning in kids. Just so you know. =/
[1] They can't actually say "Oooooh, buttons!" but they can sure think it.
You can tell me what is and isn't Truth when you pry the tinfoil from my cold, lifeless head.

Whatever you do, don't make them watch Dora the Explorer, Barney, or any of those other kids shows, or the rate at which they learn will be drastically reduced. They will also develop an OCD.

Yeah... They need to watch Ponies and Happy Tree Friends... JK 
Seriously, we didn't even turn on the TV for our daughter until she was reading... And now, she prefers to read than to watch the Boob Tube.

Good call on limiting the TV. It's known to impair development of listening skills, reading skills and imagination. Impaired imagination in turn limits IQ and explorative thinking. It works like this:
-If you listen to an explanation of something or story being read to you, your mind has to stay attentive. It has to process the language coming in step-by-step. Simultaneously, it's extrapolating on the information. It's forming mental images, it's wondering what that word exactly means, etc. And those thought processes lead the mind to partially "wander" and explore other things. Which leads to creativity and the ability to think deeply. That leads to explorative thinking and IQ traits.
-If you watch an explanation of something or a story (a video presentation), you process it visually. It's very passive, you mind doesn't have to do much. You could turn the volume off and still get most of the information. Also, you can't interact or control the pace. So you don't have time to reflect on the information and extrapolate. This is especially the case with TV. Hyper stuff trying to keep your attention, followed by an immediate break to commercial demanding your attention. The commercial interruption causes the mind to immediately blank out on what it just watched in the TV program. Very little reflection or extrapolation at all.
-If you listen to story or explanation, your mind has to stay on track and follow sequences. It must process the first part, then the next part, then the next part, in sequence. Listening requires maintaining sustained attention. Reading requires the same mental habit. It's essentially the same as listening to language.
-TV, on the other hand, requires little sustained attention. The information is presented instantly in images-- you don't have to get it by listening to a sentence from the beginning to the end.
-So, there's the harm in too much TV. The kid's mind doesn't develop the habit of being able to calm itself down and maintain sustained attention to processing information. Possibly a factor in ADD/ADHD? And it limits the mind's experiences in free roaming and extrapolating.
-Not letting your kid watch any TV at all is pretty tough. So as a compromise, you can watch TV with your child. During commercials, mute the volume and talk about the story with your kid. They actually do want to discuss what they saw-- the funny parts, the character they didn't like, etc. That's not apparent if you just leave them alone. They look like mesmerized zombies in front of the TV who would never interact.
Anyway, that's what I read at least. |

a lot of armchair psychologists in here =P.
Congrats on the kid xD. My wife and I have considered have a kid in the near future and that is a great name for a girl!
If you don't like it, you should go and ride your Emo high-horse all the way back to WoW.

Mama don`t let your babies grow up to date goonsies
Don`t let `em pick on miners and drive them old 'canes
Make `em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don`t let your babies grow up to date Goonsies
They`ll never stay home and they`re always alone
Even with someone they love
Goonsies ain`t easy to love and they`re harder to hold
And they`d rather give you a song then diamonds or gold
Trollface belt buckles and tears on the forums each night begins a new day
And if you don`t understand him and he don`t die young
He`ll probly just warp away
Mama don`t let your babies grow up to date goonsies
Don`t let `em pick on miners and drive them old 'canes
Make `em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don`t let your babies grow up to date Goonsies
They`ll never stay home and they`re always alone
Even with someone they love
Goonsies like Gankin in high sec and scammin on noobs
Little pods to pop and noobs and girls of the night
And them that don`t know him won`t like him
And them that do sometimes won`t know how to take him
He ain`t wrong he`s just different
but his pride won`t let him do things to make you think he`s right
Mama don`t let your babies grow up to date goonsies
Don`t let `em pick on miners and drive them old 'canes
Make `em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don`t let your babies grow up to date Goonsies
They`ll never stay home and they`re always alone
Even with someone they love
Mama don`t let your babies grow up to date Goonsies
Don`t let `em pick on miners and drive them old 'canes
Make `em be doctors and lawyers and such
