Baby limb movements normal?

This might sound a stupid question but I've never had a baby or really been around babies till my ds.

He's 6 months old, but the past couple of weeks he's really started to kick his legs and slap his arms about and he jolts south that I feel like I'm nearly dropping him when I'm carrying him sometimes.

He can't crawl yet, but he can roll both ways and pivots a lot. Is it normal for babies to go through a phase of violently throwing their arms and legs about? I was thinking it's maybe him building his muscles for crawling? If that's the case I assume he will calm down when he can crawl, hopefully!

Yes it’s normal. Incredibly annoying, but very normal!
