If you can take him for walks in a stroller most all babys really like that. Both my kids have always loved spong bob square pants. My son was always calmed from an infant by youtube.com the lion sleeps tonight...the one with the hippo. We gave our son to ppl when they came over and had a wonderful neighbor/friend that we always handed him over too. So he never really had fear of new ppl. (exception was a church nursery and we switched churches...it was very odd for him to be upset at new ppl). Its not going to be instant but he will learn to be comforted by you and your constant playing with him he will begin to trust you. Sing abc's and itsy bitsy all sorts of silly songs even make some up if you can. He will eventually be comfrotable with you.
