Now that I've spent some time in close proximity to one for the first time, one of the things that's most surprised me about babies is just how much they cry.
They cry when they go to sleep
They cry when they wake up
They cry when they're hungry
They cry when they're tired
They cry (or at least ours does) at every sudden noise, such as a slamming door or somebody sneezing
They cry when they're bored (i.e. you've stopped giving them your undivided attention for three seconds)
They cry when they're bunged up and need a poo
They cry for no apparent reason at all
It can be rather wearing, but they so easily make up for it when they give you that big smile of recognition as you make eye contact. No adult smiles as much as a baby...which is a pity really, when you think about it.

The joy of babies ;) They cry because A) They Can, and B) Because they want to! Hopefully it passes soon for you ;)
hopefully, dan, it passes soon for little Willy, if, by the sound of things, he's bunged up and needs a poo...
