Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Blinking?

LO has been blinking kind of strangely lately.  It's almost the type of blink he would do while shaking a toy close to his face but not as extreme as a real flinch.  My step-mom said it looked like he was flirting.  It only happens a few times a day & he's not blinking very hard when he does it.  I think it might be related to the cold he's had for a little over a week since it seems to have started about the same time.  Or, maybe he's just discovering that his eyes can do that?

  • If he's doing it when nothing seems to trigger it, I would guess that he's just testing out his newfound ability.  DD did something similar, she would squint and shake her head like she had just eaten something sour.  She would repeat it 4 or 5 times in a row and do it a couple times a day and then smile after.
