Rabbit clutches onto me when I try to take her out of my lap

hi I know the title is very long I wasn’t sure on what to write:) I recently got a bunny her name is Millie and she is a very cute minilop. It has been about three weeks since I got her and we’ve bonded so much. Today she was in my lap, and I let her sit in my lap for a while and then take her out and put her on the floor in the garden. She kept digging and nipping at the cloth that I have in my lap so I thought that she wanted to get out. I picked her up and tried to lower her down onto the ground slowly like I normally do but today she went crazy midway and jumped back into my lap. So I let her sit in my lap for a few minutes and she did the digging and the nipping again. When I tried to pick her up she hugged my chest and lay there with her face close to mine for a few seconds and started licking my clothes. She is normally okay with me putting her on the ground so I don’t know where this has come from. In the end I had to slowly get off the chair and sit on the ground while she was in my lap so she could get off herself and then she started doing her binkies and her zoomies around the garden. I am a new bunny mom so I wanted to know if this is normal so if anyone could help could you please let me know! Thank you for reading:p

Hmm… I’m not sure what to make of this. How old is she? Is she spayed yet? I wonder if this behavior is hormone-driven.
