Babies

Did you know that when babies are born they have more bones than adults do? They do, and that's because when they're born, not all of their bones, such as the skull are as one. So as a child grows, it's skull fuses together to form one bone. Did you also know that babies can't taste salt until they're about four months old? It's thought that the reason for this is because their kidneys process sodium at about that time. Also, the first all-female set of quintuplepts in the USA born since 1969 were born April 8, 2015. There was another set born in the 1980's, but two children died after birth. Photo Credit
Here are the quintuplets
I was writing about. Their names are
Ava Lane, Hazel Grace,
Olive Marie, Parker Kate, and Riley Paige.
(That is not in order, as far as I know.)
