My ds does this alot lately and i was wondering the same thing, but i just figure he has no idea he is doing it.

Hi guys,

Perfectly normal, its their first attempt at communication
you can play and your bubba will take turns at poking out their tounge

It all good!

Most new babies will copy you when you poke your toungue out. It's another one of their reflexes I think.

Juliette is doing this as well & does it moreso when she is "talking" in her own little language. I think it's how they try to talk, they see us moving our tongues about when we talk so they are learning that they have to move their tongues around too.

Nakita has been stcking her tongue out for months (yes she is only three weeks old), in one US in my OB's office she was licking her umbilical cord, we have a 3d photo @ 29 weeks with her eyes open a stcking out her tongue, and now that she is here she does it a lot - no wonder we saw it on scans!! Not necessarily at food time either! You can click on my blog link in my sig, there are a lot of photos with that tongue poking out!!
