Every baby reaches milestones at different times, I'm sure he is fine, just hasn't gotten the hang of it. Remember, don't compare your babe to anyone else's or it will drive you crazy! My daughter was lazy, she sat up unassisted around 8-9 months I think and didn't start walking until 14 months!
my daughter was sitting up on her by 6 months at 7 months she was a pro. Your baby will do it eventually its completely normal for them to not be able to sit up by themselves for very long
