That's usually standard convention for giving you permission to address him by his first name.
If I'm emailing a professor for the first time I use "Dr. [Last Name]" to address them. Then if in their response they sign it with just their first name, that means I can address them by their first name from thereon out. If they sign it with "First Name Last Name" or "Dr. Last Name" that means I should continue to use their full title.
