Clenched fists - normal?

My baby is 12 weeks old today. He clenches his fists so tightly when he is asleep. I normally like to try to use the time he is asleep to cut his nails, but his hands are so tightly clenched even I really struggle to prize them open. Is this normal??

Yes, they'll open more when he has older.
