Babies behavior

I am a grandmother of twins, I've noticed lately that they a tendcy of hittint them selve in the head with their open hand, they seem to think that this is very funny.I HATE THIS BEHAVIOR WITH A PASSION!!!!!!! If anyone can elaborate please do.

Hey Jenni
my 18 month old also exhibits this behavior!!! But he walks up to the bed or the couch and just bang his head against it all while laughing. I don't know why he does it, just wanted you to know that u are not alone!!
