He looks normal . Send pictures always of naked babies so that we can judge many other things which are necessary & may not be obvious to parents . In bowing we measure the intercondylar distance to make opinion

At 1 year of age, physiological bowing is there so no need to worry. Give maintenance vitamin d drops if not started already.

It can be physiological bow legs till 1.5 years. If you have given vit D whole 1 year you need not worry. A video and detailed history is required.
Next Steps
Get assessed with your pediatrician when you go for vaccination
