This is an expected Normal Response, although some amount of hyperactivity without any noticeable issues, can be temporary change, possibly due to changing weather conditions, etc.
To make sure, baby passes at least 6 times per day ---> Urine,
Stools ---> At least 2 to 3 times or more, maintaining his previous frequency, without change in the same!!!

You baby is growing well Sir, becoming socially aware and responding to it so don't worry
Next Steps
Since they are easily distracted, it is advisable to feed baby in isolation and silence leaving baby and mother undisturbed for that time. Otherwise if not possible baby would demand for feeds as per his hunger.
Health Tips
Continue with only Breastfeeding for next 3months, and keep giving the Vitamin D supplement as advised
