Mushy stools: His stools could be mushy if he is drinking fruit juice. The fruit sugars can cause loose stools.

YES...: As long as he is growing normally, no gastro-intestinal or growth related issues, this is normal. Stool frequency, amount and consistency depends mainly on what he is eating. Talk to his pediatrician in next visit if any concern.
