We've been practicing sitting. I try to do tummy time to strengthen his abdomen but he still hates to be on his belly…

What a cutie! My girl makes that face haha, she's 7.5 months old, too! We call it the bulldog face hahaha it is so nice to see differences in development, our girl was always super early on everything! 3 weeks good head control, 3 months rolling, 4 months sitting for a few minutes, 5 months sitting well and army crawling, 6 months pulling up to a stand and getting up and down from sitting, also crawling on hands and knees.....now can cruise along furniture quite well! Not here to compare, I just genuinely love to see how other babies develop, as a first time mom it's nice to know that we can relax and let her learn at her own pace, so far she's doing quite well but next we gotta wait for standing without holding furniture and walking!

Yea if you read my posts a few back I talked about how I was upset with the doctor but he's doing great because I had him evaluated and he's not behind developmentally he's just taking his time @hellosweetie

Oh no, I didn't see your last posts! I'm glad you were reassured he is doing fine, and actually most articles I've read (and I've read a LOT) all say that the average baby can sit up without help by 8 months, so he still had a while 😊 also crawling is more like 7 to 9 months, pulling up 8 to 10 months and so on....I have a friend who's baby didn't roll until 9 months! Your lil guy is doing great! And a lot of the time when babies take their time with the physical side of development, they often will be focused on other kinds of development like speech or hand-eye coordination and will be ahead in these other areas and catch up with the physical stuff in their own time 😁

Yah I worked at a preschool for 3 years with all different ages so I kind of knew the development rate and I do a lot of reading as well. H s doing just fine. All babies are different t

@hellosweetie,

Haha I agree, I was trying to say that he is doing great, that was kinda my point how babies differ in their development but all do great in their own ways 😁 anyways, he's a cutie and no worries mama 😊

Show me a pic of your lo sucking on her lip? I never payed attention then I started looking at all the different pics I've taken of him and he's sucking his lip in so many!

@hellosweetie,

Haha hold up lemme get one from her insta, I recently deleted a lot of pics on my phone to make room lol brb

Haha here's one from like a few weeks ago lol

Ugh hold up phone not working...

Whoohoo it worked lol here's a better one of the "bulldog face" 😂 this was like a month and a half ago lol

what about a bumbo? those help with sitting

A Bumbo is good however it doesn't strengthen the muscles because it's doing the work for them. We have one however his chunky butt gets stuck when we take him out. @aidensmommy

@hellosweetie, haha! I know that face! Always sucking on that lip. Sooo funny.
