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.

People don't just luck out and have kids that grow up really cool. It's called raising your child right. There is a nurture aspect to it. An infant might not respond to your words but that's why you need to speak to them properly and not in baby goo goo talk because they are learning by hearing all the words that are said to them regardless of what you think.
