Nope, no log for the infant.

Parents can be in tune to their children with or without spreadsheets.

This reminds me of one of the families I babysit for. Older parents tend to have more of life's fundamentals figured out (finances, housing, relationship, career) and therefore seem to have a whole lot more time to obsess over their kids. Difficult to say whether it will have any effects in the long-term, or whether they'll be positive or negative.

Thoughts?

The more recording they do, the less they need to act like parents.
