Please stop worrying - it sounds pretty normal to me. She has probably just discovered her tongue and is fascinated enough by it to want to play with it.

def normal, please stop worrying. My 9 month old discovered his tongue at about that age, and still sticks it out most of the time. He is fine and normal, jsut likes sticking his tongue out and lookign like a raving loony!

kellyk like the others have said please dont worry it is normal. Almost every photo we have of ds at that age he has his tongue out in a stupid looking way and is now a rampaging 18 month old

thank you so much i have been worrying alot and its upset me but feel better bout it now thank you xxxx
