10 Weeks

'A few babies sleep for five or six hours at a time now; most still wake up in the middle of the night.' Blame it on a full day out w/ brunch/ shopping and riding in the car....but Pax slept from 10pm-3am and we could not have been more excited!....nervous too, I still got up at 2:30 to check on him to see that he was still breathing, so we welcome 10 weeks and the longer  sleeping hours in the evening! But wait, hold the phone, later in the week, he slept 8 hours...HOLY CANOLI!....while I'm sure it was a fluke, I still was not able to enjoy it in all it's glory as I had dreams that something was wrong with him and got up multiple times to check on him to be sure he was breathing, etc.    :( I guess being a nervous mom is par for the course......for the rest of my life.

•	At this age, babies smile at strangers, and they now grow excited when someone they know well is nearby; they reach out their arms to be picked up.

•	As your baby's muscles develop, her arm and leg movements are becoming much smoother and more coordinated.

Is that a fact? Babies use 25 percent of the calories they take in for growth.
