arm flailing

in April 2011 Moms
So DD  has begun flailing her right arm in a way that she didn't used to.  In fact, I am not sure that flail is even the right word.  She is more swinging it up and then down to her side over and over again, sometimes hitting herself in the stomach repeatedly.  Is this normal?  She will do it when happy, while eating, and also while upset.  It seems very strange to me since it is a new behavior and not one I am used to seeing babies do ...

    The past few days Flora has been doing the same thing with both arms, smacking herself in the tummy. She does it excitedly and I'm quite sure it's normal.

    Liam does this when he's excited. If it weren't for his diaper, he would *seriously* be nailing himself in his junk.

    Seth has been doing the same thing for the last week, especially when he is nursing, so he continually is smacking my chest, or when he is trying to soothe himself to sleep.

    Amelia does it as well. My husband calls it her little karate chop.

    Nate's been doing the same thing! I have no idea what it's about, but he's all flap-flap-flap at weird times, always on the right side. Babies are weird.

    Ian too.  When he's trying to sleep or when he's really excited, which seem like contradictory times.....

    DD does this too.  Both arms.  Up and down, up and down.  Real fun when I'm nursing her at night and she keeps smacking me in the face!

    Sophia does this while shes eating and when she is trying not to fall asleep.  She slaps me in the face all the time.

    My DD flails her left arm around too - seems to make her happy.
