The bones in his skull are formed, but aren’t fused. They actually don’t fuse entirely until early adulthood, allowing room for his brain to grow throughout childhood. Because they aren’t fused, the bones in his skull will be able to overlap, helping him to fit through the birth canal during delivery.
Other fun facts:
- He's keeping his eyes open while awake.
- He's also starting to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing.
- His bones are hardening.
- And he going through (more) major brain development -- that's one smart baby!
