Can anyone take a look of this picture and tell me if it's 'normal'

DD (2) has been complaining of rib pain at the bottom of her ribs both side. She's clingy and currently sleeping after a night of not being able to get comfortable.
No other symptoms and no bangs or bumps that I know of, no breathing issues or fever. Although last week she was covered head to toe in a really spotty rash (we assumed viral) that has now gone.
I've just checked on her and her ribs seem to be a sticking out at the bottom, although she's very slim I've not noticed this before.
Pictures are from a few angles. Does it look normal?

My sons ribs were just like this when he was small. I mentioned it to the Gp once when we were there for something else and he dismissed it, said no problem at all and as he grows these will align properly (not his exact words but along those lines)
The bottom ribs were really pokey but now completely normal

Thanks Flickerty, that's reassuring.
