BF quirks?

Do your babies have any quirks while nursing?
My 8 month old strokes my boob, arm, chest, face while her eyes roll back in the back of her head with this look like "ohh, that's good, so, so good". If it wasn't so healthy I'd definitely say she's addicted based on her eyes!
When she wants to nurse she sits there with her mouth wide open going "ahh, ahhh, ahhh". When she latches on she pauses and goes "uh, huh" as if to confirm "yes, that's what I was looking for, mommy".

1. When I lift up or take off my shirt to nurse, he runs over and says "Hi, Bees!!!" (we call them "bees")
2. He likes to kiss his bee before nursing and say "I love you, Bees."
3. Sometimes when he's done nursing, DS will say: "All done. Thank you, Bees!"
He's so super cute.
ETA: He also says "Bees good" and "Bees, mmm mmm mmm"
When she is tired of playing and feeling sleepy she crawls to me crying "maw maw maw" or "bah bah bah", crawls onto my lap, grabs my shirt in both fists and motor-boats me while fussing.
When she isn't sleepy but wants to nurse she also does the motor-boat but she is more playful. She will wave her hands in the air, growl or scream and then fall onto my chest.
Sometimes she signs for milk or just falls onto me fussing but the above is her usual MO.
While nursing she plays with my lips, slaps my breasts or stomach, plays with the other nipple or her foot or her hair, ears, hand or my hand and/or with her lovey. She'll stamp her feet on the tops of my thighs as we side lie.
When she is falling asleep while nursing she moans "nmm nmm nmm" softly and sometimes pinches my breast flesh and rolls it between her fingers.
She's unlatched and babbled or "sung" to the nipple as she plays with it and then latched back on before. If she's impatient for a let down to occur she will groan, growl and babble loudly as she's suckling!
Like @musicalmama5 I always knew that I would nurse but I admit that I had no idea what that meant in entirety. It has been one of the hardest tasks I have ever undertaken and it is probably the single most rewarding. I love/hate it.
I am nursing DD as I write this and we are both so snuggley and content right now

Let's see here, where to start. She can't be still (ever), so she's always doing something while she nurses. She'll scratch/poke my armpit, tickle my ribs, pinch my other nipple, stroke my chest, squeeze my arm, put her little finger in my mouth, poke my nose, pat and/or squeeze the boob she's on, etc. The list goes on. I love her!
