Sounds like normal behaviour to me. Stay on top of it. Keep telling him what is right and wrong.
I've always told my oldest (now 4.5 years old) that his JOB is to be the nicest person in his brother's life. We emphasize how important he is to his little brother and that nobody else can take his place. Everybody has jobs in our family, and we take them seriously. So when #1 is not nice to his brother, we remind him of his job and it seems to resonate.
(Yes, we emphasize love and respect too. Its not all about the job)
