The Moro Reflex

All newborns are born with the Moro Reflex. Basically, when they get startled their arms and legs shoot out to "protect" them. William's kicks in as he is falling asleep. We think he has the "falling sensation" and freaks out everytime he is about to drift off to sleep. It is really funny to watch. The reflex is supposed to go away after 2 months but his is still going strong. Hopefully it disappears in the next few weeks because it makes falling asleep difficult as you will see from these video clips:

We have watched the video three times. I just read about the Moro Reflex in "Happiest Baby on the Block." Hilarious.
