Well, babies typically smile and are happy as a default condition of being. I can't exactly, ask them, only observe and form an opinion.
That said, adults, on the other hand, seem to search for happiness in my opinion. In old age, we seem to find what was lost. I've spoken to people close to death and there is either fear or contentment. The fear is seen in those that don't seem to be very happy overall whereas the contentment is seen in those that genuinely ARE happy.
Perhaps, we are born happy, learn what anger and sadness are and then spend the rest of our lives learning how to purge those concepts so we can actually be truly happy again.
If we are lucky, we do so before we die.
I say this assuming that you did not mean adultery (totally different than what I assume you mean) - if I am wrong, please correct me. Either way, that's how I see it.

When infants smile and giggle with laughter and sleep content, and do not awaken during the night with nightmares, we know that they are content and enjoying their existence..I believe a happy infant that is loving cared for, that sleeps soundly and has a good appetite and is fed and nurtured and well taken care of, will definitely enjoy his infancy. An infant that knows he is loved will be enjoy his infancy and grow up to be a happy child enjoying his childhood and be as content as an adult who enjoys his adulthood, simply because he knows he is worthy to be loved, and is cared for and treasured.

Quite possibly. Don't know if they would be able to remember it when older though.
Perhaps a better question (and even more humorous mental picture) is whether infants would enjoy infantry as much as adults enjoy adultery.

I seen that on one of the joke columns.
Infants will barely start explore, such as their feelings, what they can do and cannot do.
Adult can reason with topics, their own feelings, thoughts, etc.
But what is adultry. The only word that comes close is adultery.

wow that is a great question and could be taken in different ways,isn't psychology great!!! Though I've never been an adulteress i would say yes or they wouldn't being doing it right,because most people don't do thing unless they enjoy them right. Even if you don't admit you like doing something that doesn't mean your subconscious doesn't like it .

When adults commit adultery, they can wipe their own backsides. Infants can't. :)
You tell me.
