You simply can't point to a scenario in The Bible in which an infant was baptized.

Acts 16:32 Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house. 33At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.
Acts 16:15 And when she [Lydia] and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.”
1 Corinthians 1:13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. 16 Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas.

I am neither defending nor rejecting infant baptism; I am merely posting some of the scriptures cited by those who uphold it.

I am familiar with these verses, but unfortunately it doesn't indicate in one way or the other that there were infants in the household. Perhaps there are, but to base a specific dogma like infant baptism on these verses is really just an argument from silence. One could just as well argue that these verses give way to family pets being baptized.
