Everyone says that Seth,

Everyone says that Seth, our six week old nephew, is a good tempered baby.

He must know that a baby skeptic (me) is in the house because he wailed for 45 minutes straight last night, putting his good behaviour in serious doubt. Just as I suspected. ;-)

However, his crying didn't seem to damped the enthusiasm of the adults around him. They held him in every imaginable position, on his back, on his stomach, upright (though not upside down) while bouncing, rocking and jiggling him to placate his screaming. Eventually, he fell asleep lying on his grandfather's stomach.
