Eating whatever fallen on the floor is normal at this age. So keep him under your watch.
Waving bye bye and clapping will be achieved when you keep teaching him to do so.

This is called mouthing and is a developmental milestone. You just need to avoid him from doing so.
Eating of wall paints can be a sign of PICA, which can be due to and lead to iron deficiency in the body.
