I know it's not good to compare our babies but I'm just interested to just see where we're at with different milestones!
First up..crawling? My LO does not seem to understand the concept yet and is continuing to just roll everywhere. He doesn't "army crawl" and isn't trying to get up on his hands and knees. I'm not worried, just curious about other's experience so far!
Re: Milestones
I would think she'd be crawling by now, but so far she done max to 'steps' forward with being on her knees and goes back to army crawl.
She's very good at standing, yet has no clue how to get to standing. She can sit unassisted yet doesn't know how to get to sitting yet.
Does your LO sit unassisted?
Ive read that once they can, they manage to put their knees under their butts to get into the position to crawl.
Yet I've also read, you shouldn't put a baby down to sit as they need to learn themselves.
So I didn't overdo the putting her down to sit, choose the happy medium

One day (2 days before he turned 8 months) we laid him down on the floor and he started crawling and hasn't stopped since!
He can sit unassisted but can't go from crawling to sitting. He can however go from sitting to crawling.
He can pull himself up to his knees but hasn't managed to get into his feet yet.
He still seems pretty shaky on his feet so I doubt he will be walking early !
@ALBONNET1218 from what I've read when babies have a way of getting around that's working for them they wint progress as fast and that's totally okay! It's human nature.. if we as adults can do what we're doing instead of something that seems so difficult with the same outcome we're going to take the easy way out!
M literally saw his toys one day and decided he wanted to get there faster and just went for it. Your LO will find the motivation when the right situation arises! In he meantime keep up with the tummy time!!
Until one day she was eyeing my pink screwdriver. I put it down away from her and she had no idea how to get there that fast, but off she went!
Im not getting a Mother of the Year award for the prop I used...but who cares she army crawled

FWIW my friend has a baby a month older than mine and she just started army crawling recently, but has been sitting great for a while.
If you are really concerned talk with the doctor, they would be able to gauge if LO is on track or behind.

TTC#2 April 2019@ALBONNET1218 - it sounds like your LO is doing great, but as others have said, if you're worried, a quick call to your ped to check in about it should help.
