8 month old with Toddler-like attitude

Te

Does anyone else’s 8 month old have mini tantrums when told no or when you have to pick them up and put them away from a dangerous area? Or even when you set them down because you’re tired of holding them? My son does all of this and he’s even started hitting at my husband and I when we try to keep him from doing something that might hurt him. Is this normal around this age? Especially for boys??
