For a child of his age, these behaviors are not abnormal. You should not worry. You can continue to observe him as any mother would.
If in future, he has difficulty with socializing or communicating or if he shows stereotyped strange behavior or undue fascination with inanimate things you may want to consult your doctor.
I hope this answer helps you.
