Babies: 6 - 9 Months
When did your baby sit up on his/her own?
I know my son is only 4.5 months, but am just wondering. 
When did he/she sit up unassisted and crawl? I've heard that boys develop later than girls. Any truth to that?
My DS hates the Bumbo seat! He doesn't mind sitting on my lap, and is getting better with his head control. When he does tummy time he is now kicking his legs and getting up on his knees and toes. I love watching him learn new things!

Re: When did your baby sit up on his/her own?
Not sure if it is always true about boys sitting up 1st, but it was true for us.
DS sat up on his own (tripod) at 6 months exactly. It took DD another week to do it - after they sat tripod for about a week they were sitting on their own upright (with a few wobbles here and there)
DS is starting to crawl, DD is not interested in it - they are 9 months old today.
My son sat unassisted at 5 months 1 week, which I think is kinda early. That said, he's still not a very good roller and has NEVER rolled from back to tummy! So he did things in a funny order. Not crawling yet, not even close.
DD sat unassisted right before 6 months...
she just started to take a very small interest in crawling but she really army crawls the best. shes more interested in walking then anything she started pulling herself up around 7.5 months.
I have heard that boys develop later but im not sure if thats true or not.
This is my child exactly!
DS started to sit unassisted for 10-20 seconds at 5.5 months. He was at a point where I could sit him down and walk away at about a week after 6 months.
Still no crawling and I don't think we're anywhere close. He hates his tummy and instantly rolls over every time we set him down. I don't think he'll learn to crawl that way!
at 6 mos on the dot he could stay up for a long time on his own.
I think sitting has been the coolest milestone so far, besides his first smiles.

This was Katie sitting up for the first time. It was taken on May 2nd, one month ago today. So she was 6.5 months old.
DD is just now starting to sit by herself and she's still trying to learn that she can't throw herself sideways and backwards. She rolls all over now but she's not even close to crawling. She's concentrating on fine motor skills... she's waving, self feeding, holding her bottle and sippy cups, manipulating toys, passing them back and forth, etc. She doesn't care about the bigger physical stuff at the moment.
