Should we worry?

Something we have been noticing recently and are not sure if we should be worried about yet is a certain behavior Ella has been exhibiting lately. While she is alert and interested in her surroundings, smiling and looking about, she will, every now and again suddenly lock her gaze, usually directly upwards, or to the left. She isn’t frozen, she keeps on sucking on her pacifier, moving her hands and her eyes are not locked to their absolute position. If you move her around she will keep tracking that imaginary point. Her eyes will move to compensate for her new location. But she isn’t actually looking at anything because if you obstruct her view with your hand so she can’t see anything beyond, she still goes on with this behavior.
This usually lasts a minute or so and then she is back to normal. We don’t know if this is a form of seizure, some other phenomena or nothing at all.
We plan to ask the Neurologist in a day or so.
