Brief Answer:
It seems quite normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

I don't think this is something to get concerned but it is normal.
Also it doesn't get more often as you age.
The frequency of pooping may depend on the type of diet you are having.
Possibly you have increased fiber in your diet eating more fruits and vegetables and having more water.
This may have caused it to be more frequent but still normal.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
