the development of the human brain is fascinating and complex, but I highly doubt an infant is going to give a damn what I'm saying to it. at least the dog will wag its tail and just generally be adorable.

I've studied human development to great lengths - this is another reason why I don't want kids. They don't seem pleasant at any stage of their development. At all. They're even miserable to have around when they're teenagers (though I assume some people luck out and their kids grow up to be really cool).

At the beginning of a child's life, you wish they could tell you what their problems are (because their primal screeching is enough to make your blood boil), and when they're 12 and melodramatic, you wish they'd shut up.
