Encountering Across

Observing the picture and information about babies of the book, "Amazing Baby" by Desmond Morris, I read some weird-but-cool facts about them. These 7 things are some that we rarely know about our baby.

1. During the nine months between conception and birth, a baby's weight increases 3,000 million times.

2. Between birth and age 2, an infant will quadruple in size.

3. At birth, a baby's of birth, brain is 10 percent of her total body weight (an adult's is 2 percent).

4. Within 45 hours of birth, a newborn knows her own mother by her smell. (Add a blindfolded mom can identify her own child from a host of other babies by scent alone.)

5. At birth, babies have the ability to swim.

6. Human babies are the only primates to smile at their parents.

7. A newborn has feet that are one third of their adult length. By age one, they are nearly half their adult size.

How mysterious life is that natural things such as these are hardly unexplainable. They just happen.

Now I know.
