Not all forms of Christianity do this
I realize that not all denominations baptize children, but I still find it strange. Just like I find it strange that not all churches celebrate the Eucharist every service. It's just what I have always been used to.
Either way, good for you, Boom. It's a big decision and a joyous sacrament. I'm happy for you!

Babies cannot sin - they are pure
Folks with Downs Syndrome are in the same boat
I go as far as to think people with mental illnesses and people who are extremely unintelligent are also covered on a case by case basis administered by the Lord
The "aborigine" argument as well. Or a 15 year old from the Soviet Union who died never knowing who Christ was. Covered in my opinion.
The very nature of God is to forgive people who do not deserve it, thus imo He would of course cover those who are at a cognitive disadvantage or other type of disadvantage (living under tyranny, etc). People "feel sorry" for Downs Syndrome people. It should be the other way around. They are the best human beings on the planet. They sure don't have a PhD in theology. Good for them.
The Lord says "No one comes to the Father except through me." And sure enough I'm sure Jesus intercedes for those who cannot reach a cognitive level to understand things or adequately walk in the light. Or if He decides someone is covered, then by golly they came to the Father through Jesus. Just like the thief on the cross.
