Normal : Babies can have wandering eyes and crossed eyes as they mature.  Observe her when she is playing with something and in the distance.  The eyes should be in alignment ( by 4 months of age) but can become crossed or wander when she is tired or inattentive.  If they are becoming more crossed or wandering then tell your pediatrician and get an eye exam by an pediatric ophthalmologist.
