What Causes An Infant To Arch Backwards?

I watch an 8 month old boy... who does a lot of arching backwards... he spends a lot of time looking at the ceiling ... it doesn t seem to pain him. however he does not hold his bottle or sit up very well... could this be a sign of something. I m a grandmother and I ve never seen a baby do this just because... I ve seen it done when they are mad for not getting his way... but not this large of an arch...
