Mom of a 1 yr old boy

Q. my son in now 1 yr and 23 days. And now he used to touch and feel using his fingers. Also he uses his fingers to point something. But he uses the index finger of his left hand and the middle finger of his right hand. He is not using the index finger of his right to point something. Am frequently trying to use his index finger by folding all the rest of the fingers and put the index finger to point out something. But he is not doing it alone. Is there any problem with this?
