Brief Answer:
It is normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes it is normal. There is nothing to worry about. After 1 year, their nap time reduces and some toddlers even never have nap time. As long as he is active and playing around there is nothing to worry.

I hope this answered your query.
