According to my wife, who is an OT, children are born with a reflex that straightens their legs and which sounds similar to what you saw.
She said they lose the reflex during their first year, and then develop the actual skill of standing separately.
It was fun to watch with our kids, too!
Is this separate from the prenatal kicking? Or just a continuation of it?
I don’t know, it was just something she mentioned at 3am while we’re trying to put the baby back to sleep
But I think it could be!
