That behavior is pretty common and nothing to worry about, nice to have an active axolotl to be honest, lots of them just hang about doing nothing. However excessive activity can be a sign off poor water quality , so just to be on the safe side what are your ammonia etc readings ?

Axolotls have a tendencancy to play with bubbles when they're younger and as they're older they become less and less active.
