Baby blinking and rolling eyes back

My 10 month old son just started a behavior yesterday that involves a slow blink and when his eyes open, I can tell they were rolled back.  He did it 8-10 times yesterday afternoon when he was playing.  There are no other symptoms.  He continued playing when it happened.  Should I be concerned it could be early signs of seizures, tics, etc.?  I'm a first time mom and probably over-concerned but this just doesn't seem normal to me.

I did get him to the Dr. right away yesterday morning.  His pediatrician did the basic eye, ear, throat, reflex, etc. tests.  Of course, everything reported back completely normally.  Which I am very happy about but still concerned as to why it happened.  We watched him closely and it has not happened since.  Dr. indicated if it does continue, we would set up an appointment with a pediatric neurologist at Childrens Hospital.  I'm a first time mom and feel like I over-react about everything but I'd rather be safe than sorry.  If anybody has ever had experience with these symptoms, I'd be very thankful for any information you have.  Thank you!

I'm no doc...but I'd get him to his pediatrician to get him checked ASAP just to be sure if he were my child.  (I have 2 kids as well).
You can never be too careful with your little ones!!  If you get really concerned...get him to the ER...like I said..I'm no doc...but you can never be too careful!

Let us know how he is!!!
