Awake for hours throughout the night

I haven’t been on here in a while to check the April ‘16 babies forum, so I’m sorry if someone has already posted something similar and I missed it.

My son has been waking up in the middle of the night, sometimes around 2 or 3AM and will stay awake for an hour or two! He doesn’t cry or anything! He just hangs out in his crib and we have no idea he was up like that until we look at his camera in the morning and see all of the activity. While I’m happy he doesn’t cry and keep us up, I’m wondering if it’s healthy for him to be up like that! He’s been doing it for a while now....much longer than for it to seem like some sort of phase. He goes to bed between 8-8:30PM and has never really been one to sleep past 7AM. Most of the time he’s up around 6-6:30 which is so shocking to me since he’s up for two hours partying in his crib lol. All he has in his crib is his pillow and blanket so he’s not distracted by anything. 🤷🏽‍♀️
