head bobbing

ive noticed lily will sometimes bob her head back and forth. she'll be standing and move it side to side for a few seconds but be completely aware sometimes smiling. she doesn this when eating sometimes. has anyone ever seen a baby do this or know what the heck shes doing? its like shes is dancing for a second.

My Lily did that for awhile too.  I called it her "Stevie Wonder" move.  Her latest thing is shaking her head no.  DH asked her if she wanted him to hold her and she shook her head no LOL...pure coincidence but still funny!

Fynn shakes his head side to side as if he is saying no...i find he mostly does this when he is tired.....I think he does it to keep himself awake because he does it fast

i just got back from my parents house and realized that my dad taught it to her. he said he was swaying his head when he was eating with her because it was good. i guess she picked it up :)

I think that's cute!  Amiah does the head bobbing thing too-especially to music!  I love it!

totally normal - she is experimenting with how she can move her body.  Finn twirls his wrists and ankles for the same reason.  Me pediatrician concurred that these typed of movements are normal and fine.
