Hi,
My almost 22 month old DS has been thrusting out his lower jaw quite a lot. It happens when he's excited or being 'silly' - for instance, he'll launch himself at me shouting 'big cuddle' and as he comes towards me, he'll push out his lower jaw (giving himself an underbite, making himself look like a miniature Gruffalo) and tense his jaw, sometimes so hard that it tremors a little. He also sometimes bites on the rubber spout of one of his sippy cups, which makes me wonder if it's related to teething (second molars?). He very rarely does it when we're out and about: only once in soft play when he was overexcited in the ball pit.
I haven't really any other concerns about his development, which is why up until now I've put it down to toddler 'silliness'. I'm just wondering if I'm perhaps downplaying its significance?
TIA.

Anybody else have a toddler with some odd/silly behaviours? (jaw thrusting in DS' case)
