    Don't worry babies do all sorts of new things and its completely normal..I have a 3 and 1/2 month old who done something very similar in the past few weeks.. If he is holding his ears it could be teething but if there's a temperature call the gp as that can indicate an ear infection but just rubbing their head is usually a habit.. my lo does it during her feeds and when shes tired.. As for those legs the muscles are getting stronger so those jerky movements are your lo having a little fun and exercising... All good signs.. But as a mother use your gut feeling if you're really worried ring your public health nurse for advice.. I know i worried way to much over silly things but always knew when it was a real concern.. Hope this helps..
