sticking out her tongue all the time!
I know it sounds mad but after a stressful pg where there was a bowel abnormality we were given the all clear. She is my fourth baby and is developing normally exactly along the same timetable as the others. recently a few people have commented that she sticks her tongue out a lot - she is teething - has 3 teeth and now im obsessed by it too and cant help worrying theres something wrong . my doctor husband and father in law have both told me shes fine but i feel im going mad - i shouldnt be so anxious over my fourth!

Maybe she likes the sensation of it.. or she has learned it makes people smile or react in some way.
Guaranteed by 9 months she'll be doing something else bizarre!
My 6mth old is presntly beating his chest to anyone who will watch.. looks like bloody Tarzan ..ridiculous behaviour. (But he has cottoned on that the old Dears love it)!
