Just to clarify, our dinner lasted about that long, with the baby crying about half of that time. Then again, a crying baby hits the nerves in such a way that perhaps the crying seemed longer to me than it really lasted. It was clear to us and at least six other patrons that it was lasting way too long.

BTW, we actually took our first child to restaurants at that age. She hardly ever made a peep. That stopped at around 3 mos. We had a long stretch away from restaurants after that.
