As I thought baby that age,they sleeps a lot,     Thank you

Hi there, welcome.  Sounds like a good baby!  :>)  sleeping through the night is a wonderful thing.  Babies have different sleep barometers and some sleep more during the day than others.  I had two and one was awake more during the day but slept better at night.  The other slept a lot during the day and was up all night!  I'd take baby number one in terms of that aspect over baby number two if given a choice.  

If your baby is generally content and not crying excessively or doing other things to show he is tired, then this is just his natural pattern.  

Enjoy your little one!
