ash was 'crawling' before he was sitting
Chase crawled at 5 months and sat at 7 so your not alone lol

My son crawled before sitting. He crawled at 6 months & started sitting at 7 months but now at 8 months he still is on an angle & has to prop himself up with one hand. I think he was far too interested in crawling around to bother learning to sit properly.

Pretty much the same thing happened here...Cameron crawled at exactly 7 months, but still couldn't sit up. I was able to plop him into the sitting position, but would only last a few seconds or a little longer if I put him in the couch I bought him for xmas. Then only 3 weeks ago (just over 8months) he went from crawling position to the sitting position...I was so excited I started clapping and cheering - it just happened out of nowhere. Don't worry about it too much, it'll just happen one day when you least expect it.
