Yes, I love playing with a little one who can babble at me in strings of sentences as if they are going to talk their way out of the trouble that they got themselves into! It is always so cute to see the look of concentration on their face when they try to use their limited vocabulary to win an argument with mommy. The older they get, the bigger the handful they are! But I love them all absolutely!
XOXO,

Great question Mommy Tawny! 
From the time I was a little boy, 6 years-old to be exact, I have always seen myself and fantasized about, being a certain age.
That age is between 6 to 12 months-old, not yet walking.
Why that age? Why not a toddler, or older child?
Well, the answer is complicated, but it has to do with 3 things:
Innocence, Awareness, My Mother, and Poopy Diapers.
In real life, when I turned 13 months-old, I began walking, and my mother, in her misguided, reasoning thought, (and said) "If he can walk, then he can use a potty chair." So she bought a 13 month-old baby a potty chair, (the big boy potty) and tried her best to make (i.e., force, coerce, threaten, spank) him to use it.
Needless to say, things did not go well, and not according to my Mother's plan to get her 13 month-old to stop going to the bathroom in his pants.
So, I believe, using my own reasoning and armchair psychology, that the reason I always fantasize about returning to that age of 6 to 12 months old is because:
(A) At that age, you are still seen by most mommies as "sweet and innocent" and any thoughts of potty-training are far away in the future. No one says to a 9 month-old, "Bad baby!" when they dirty their pants. It is expected that a 9 month-old messes his diapers. Mommies see the reddening of the face and the filling of the pants, as a normal part of life for a 9 month-old baby.
Is anyone in the room offended when they smell a pungent odor wafting up from a 9 month-old's pants? Of course not. It is viewed as normal for that age. In fact, most moms would be worried if they were not smelling a freshly pooped diaper from time to time throughout the day.
(B) Awareness. At this age and stage of development, the baby has only a vague awareness of pooping his pants. He will momentarily pause from playing, turn red in the face and fill the back of his diaper with poop, but he really has no idea of what just happened. It all seems normal. No embarrassment, no guilt: just another day in the life of a 9 month-old, who just messed his pants in the living room with everyone watching.
(C) The intimacy with Mommy. Now, some may dispute this, and this is just my opinion, but it seems to me that when it comes to closeness and intimacy with Mommy, the age of around 6 to 12 months (before walking) produces the greatest intimacy. Why? Well, a newborn just lays there and their interactions with Mommy are limited at best. And when the baby starts to walk, (toddler) he is now far away from Mommy, semi-independent and on his own. But at the age of 6 to 12 months-old (before walking) the baby NEEDS his Mommy and unlike a newborn, or young infant, he is now old enough to giggle and coo and jabber to Mommy and communicate with her on a very intimate level.
Anyway, that's my two cents.

"Uh, oh, Mommy smells something."
Awe Busy Britches, I have to totally agree with all the things you said and your "armchair reasoning" I think 6-12 months is a great age and from newborn till about 12 months it is the most bonding a baby and mommy get in my opinion. Once they start to get around on their own they don't want to be bothered so much when they are trying to roam around. That small needed innocent age is such a sweet loving time for most I think.
