Lip smacking and eye blinking

DS 10 month old seems developmentally typical and happy boy. Over recent month he has been lip smacking a lot but is always distractable from it. Yesterday he did this with weird eye blinking movements - for 20 secs a time 4 or 5 times in a 4 minute period. Made the mistake of googling and it can be an indicator of petit mal epilepsy or worse a tumour.

He does seem otherwise well. He has two large lumps at bottom of skull at back (not the glands - more like skull) and I recall DDs having this too. Only mention as increase skull size can also be a sign of tumour (damm Google).

It has been so long since DDs little I cannot remember if they did the eye blinking/lip smacking too. Anyone else got anyexperience of this?
