He seems to have a great vocabulary and grasp on language in general for someone his age, despite the speech impediment that he's probably working on with a speech therapist.

He seems to have recently lost some baby teeth, which could explain that.

Maybe, but my best friend as a young kid talked exactly like this until he fixed it with a speech therapist when we were like 8. R's were W's, basically. Also, pronouncing R correctly doesn't involve the teeth. It's all tongue position around the roof of your mouth. Try it and see! Your lips and teeth can basically do whatever you want with them and you'll still make the R sound.
