9 month old (almost 8 adjusted) not sitting?

Hi :) My dd will be 9 months (actual) on monday, she was a 35 weeker.  I have a concern.  She is still not completely sitting on her own.  She sits just fine in her high chair, stroller, anything supported basically.  She has been rolling all over the place for like 4 months and she can stand up in her jumperoo or her excersaucer or holding on to my hand, or the furniture (but does not pull up), so I'm not overly concerned about a muscle issue or that kind of thing, I don't think.

 She will sit up for a few seconds on her own, I think the longest was about 30 seconds.  She will then either tip over or arch her back and lay back down.  If I sit behind her, like supporting her back while reading or something, she'll sit forever that way.

 Is anyone else experiencing this?

 Also, she's not crawling at all, she rolls everywhere instead.

    Timmie started sitting unassisted at around 9 months actual ( 7 months adjusted) and Wesley started around 10 months actual ( 8 months adjusted) . Timmie within the past 2 weeks started army crawling. Wesley is not crawling yet. Neither of them can get themselves into a sitting position by themselves. They went to the pedi on Tuesday and she is not worried.
