Solveig started this new thing last week where she clenches her teeth and tenses her whole body for a few seconds. She is doing it more and more. Mainly she does it when she is near Trygve. She'll lean in like she going to give him a kiss but tense her whole body instead while making a "rrrrrrr" sound while her mouth is centimeters away from his head if not right against it. I can hear her teeth grinding together and we told her that it iwll hurt her to so she needed to stop, but she just does it more often. Should we be worried?

I wonder if, and I don't know this or not, Lynsee, but I wonder if she's jealous of him and that's her way of making it known to him that she's irritated he's here. Like, go away, kid! My nephew used to 'hold' my nieces hand and it was more like gripped, or squeezed her hand. It looked like he was doing a nice thing when actually I think it was his little way to get at her for being born.

Occasionally, Kendra does the same thing...tenses her whole body until her head shakes, clenches her teeth tight, but without making a sound (usually). She thinks it's funny. She does it by herself (not next to anyone). She'll do it with or without people looking at her. It doesn't seem to be aggressive. Kendra has been making weird faces lately too. I don't know for sure, but I think both girls are at the age of exploring how to express themselves in different ways.

I have always done this since I can remember, with no sound, when I get near something extremely cute, like a cat or kitten. I also clench my teeth in my sleep. I should where a mouthguard but haven't decided to fork over the $200 to get one yet. I think it is caused by excitement/anxiety.

I forgot to mention that when I was her age I would get so excited for my parents and grandparents to come home or pick me up from daycare that I would run up to them and bite their shoulder/neck. I think i did this out of excitement too. I forgot about this until I was talking about Solveig with Lil. Probably is an excitement thing.
