Yes these are knock knees . Do not worry. Between 2 to 4 years the valgus ( knock knee deformity) increases and gradually get straightened by 4 to 8 years.Google Selenius Curve  and you will get the information. Apart from this check his Vitamin D levels and any bone abnormalities or diseases in your family. Approach Orthopaedic Surgeon but plz don't do any operations at this stage if they advise you .
