Hand movements/ wrist "circles"?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
My 6.5 month old son makes these weird hand movements basically when not holding onto something.  He moves his wrists about, almost in circles and opens/closes his hands.  He's  been doing this for a few months based on what I can remember.  Does anyone else's LO do this? Thanks in advance!

    Completely normal. Stop worrying.

    Yes this. ^^

    Babies "discover" their hands/fingers around 4-7 months. I'm not sure what about this movement is bothersome to you or causes you concern?

    I'm not snarking you. I'm serious. Why are you worried?

    To answer: my 18 month old still enjoys playing with his feet & fingers. Give your LO some textures to touch-- fuzzy, smooth, slippery. Let them get messy.

    Yogurt finger paints & different chopped up foods (in case LO wants to sample it lol).

    Thanks.  Was only worried because my daughter never did this and I've never seen it before.  Thanks for the thoughts.

    I also think this is a normal developmental stage; and it also looks really cute!
