my son who is ten and a half months old, has started trembling for no reason. he will do it randomly through out the day. it only last a few seconds and does not seem to bother him. he acts totally happy and normal. although he has been a bit more fussy than normal. but he is also teething. but this trembling is just like the shivers when you are cold. however, it is not cold in the house or outside.

thank you and i look forward to your response.

This is probably not a problem. Could just be that he gets a little startled or has a pang from the teething, and then he shivers a bit and goes on. However, there is also the possibility of this being a kind of very mild seizure activity, so it would be best to take him to his pediatrician to have him evaluated. A sleep-deprived EEG would give a reliable answer.
