Behaviour/development

19 months, completely nutty behaviour - tell me this is totally normal

DS is currently holding my foot rubbing his face in it - he's being doing this for 10 minutes, he's in stitches, he does this loads.

When he dances he tenses up and does extreme things like pointing the index finger of one hand really hard in to the palm of his other hand whilst he has a manic look on his face with his mouth wide open. Again extremely amusing to watch.

When scribbling he gets his head right down to the page, scribbles manically and opens his mouth as wide as it goes.

There's loads more examples

All very amusing. He's a born comedian but every once in a while I panic that this sort of thing is NOT normal! Is it normal? Reassure me that your toddlers do totally off the wall and senseless things...

My 16mo dd likes to smell her dad's feet. Not something i'd recommend.

my feet don't smell - honest! he likes banging his head on it (my foot). he'd do the same to my head if I let him. His hugs are rather rough and painful some times!

of course my toddler does off the wall and senseless things - he is a toddler!

My DS tenses his whole body and puts his little pudgy hands into fists - make me LOL because he thinks it is hysterical

he also does fake laughing

19 month olds invented funny!

He sounds to me like he's developing extremely normally.
