Anyone have a LO who crawled before he was able to sit up?

DS just turned 7 months and I feel like he is on the brink of army crawling.  He's trying to figure out the coordination needed, but isn't quite moving forward yet.  He's able to bend his legs and push.  He's so close.  But he isn't quite able to sit up yet.  He can sit up for a second or two only if he's holding on to something or using a hand to touch the floor and balance himself.  My first son was able to sit up well before he crawled, so this seems a little strange to me.

Yes!  DS#1 sat up first as well (and I was looking forward to the stage where they can sit up and play, but cant MOVE yet! )  But DD#2 had other plans.  She can sit up for a few seconds, but then falls over... but she is army crawling!  And she is quick!  I think part of why she is not sitting up well is because she does not want to stay still!  Two  kids on the move!  Ahhhh!

Yup... he crawls like a champ, and will even pull himself to standing. (well, leaning really...) But can't sit unsupported. I figure he'll catch up.

LO crawled and sat up unassisted in the same weekend. He was about 7.5 months.

Jay started army crawling right at or a little before 6 months and is still not sitting up on his own. He is great with a little support and can even pull himself up to standing but just doesn't have the cordinatino to sit on his own yet. I thought it was a little weird that he crawled before he was sitting but I guess he will just be doing things on his own time. He is meeting all his milestones so I don't think there is anything to worry about.

My DD did this. Army crawled @ 6 mo., the was able to sit up @ 7.

This post is such a relief as my 6m old can bearly sit up and I figured he was behind lol. He "trys" to crawl already and loves being on his tummy. He "pulls' himself forward and backwards and can turn himself around. He rolls all over but just never trys to sit up. I can sit him up and he does the tripod thing for a bit but then hes like "meh" and just falls over and goes right back to tummy time.

 Now he LOVES LOVES LOVES to stand up, and can even stand up (supported) on his own quite well. I was getting nervous he doesn't have any interest in sitting up at all.

Absolutely!  My DS learned to crawl and pull to a stand well before he could sit up unassisted.  I was a little concerned but eventually he figured out how to sit.  Now if I could only get him to stop moving long enough, he might sit still for more than just a couple of seconds...  URGH!  Good luck!

DD2 did this.... she was 5 months when she started crawling and is just getting really good at sitting up unassisted (w/o pillows).

DD1 Sat up around 6 months as well but didn't crawl until 8ish months.
