You know the thing is that babies will do what they are ready to do when they are ready and not when we decide they should. Oskar was sitting by himself at around 5 1/2 months and doesn't crawl... he bum shuffles and didn't start to do that until about 9 months old. I had my mum trying to MAKE him crawl which always ended up with him face planting and bawling because he HATES being on his tummy. He decided one day he could move and now I can't keep him still..lol.

Oh and to add to that I had an MCHN ask me just the other day if he pulls himself up on things.. the answer is NO.... so she started searching for a milestones thing to give me. I commented to her that he is quite happy (and so am I for that matter) not pulling himself up on everything. He's happy, he chats away and if he wants something he lets me know. He is 1 in a week and a half... so they don't all do what they "think" they should do when they "think" they should.
