Sleeping Baby #1

[dreamshark]

One of the things grandparents do is simply stare at their sleeping grandbaby for minutes on end. Richard will hold or rock her for HOURS, but my attention span isn't that long, so I eventually start things like the Sleeping Baby Vine Project. It turns out that sleeping babies are more entertaining than you might think. They spend about half their sleep time in the baby version of REM sleep, which looks something like this. As they sleep they repeatedly run through their entire repertoire of facial expressions, from grimace to frown to smile. Then they stretch all the large muscles in their bodies, flutter their eyelids tentatively and fall back into deep sleep. This is just a small sample of the expression repertoire. Don't miss the adorable "coo" at about second #5!
