I would highly recommend "Brain Rules for Baby: How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from Zero to Five" by John Medina. I am also a graduate student with a one-year-old daughter, and it has probably been the most helpful book I have read (among dozens).

In the last few years, it is amazing how much new research has been done in regards to neurobiology and developmental biology. Specifically, we have learned that young children, babies even, are learning much more at a much younger age than previously thought. This book outlines many of the leaps in our understanding, and gives 22 solid rules that you should follow "if you want a smart, healthy, and well adjusted kid".
Also, check out /r/parenting - there are often great recommendations buried amongst the pages of photos.
One of the best resources and one which I always recommend for parents is this great book.

It's not just for babies but children in general as well and helps understand how to raise a balanced child.
I have a 2 year old and it is both the best age so far and the worst. Best in that they now can start sharing their world with you and you with theirs. And their world is full of fun. Worst in that they get frustrated in they want to share things but don't have the vocabulary to do so or don't have the ability to understand what you try to tell them, which often leads to tantrums. :-\
Anyway, good luck, you are doing a great thing.
Your life will change, but for so much the better :)
Another book that really stresses this as well as many other parent myths debunked. Brain Rules for Baby by John Medina
