Is it normal for my 6 month old kitten since I had him since he was 10 weeks old be abnormally more affectionate than most cats or kittens?

Yes, it is normal that Ollie Houdini is very affectionate. Some cats are more affectionate than others; in fact, I had one cat who liked to spend most of his time flat on his back on my lap with me scratching his stomach. I would enjoy the extra love and attention :-)
