  Don't worry about it. They are all different. Six months is young to crawl. Mine just started sitting at that point.

  More floor time and less walker and bouncer time. Most PT's and OT's recommend against walkers to begin with.

  Mine both started sitting on their own around 6-7 months and crawling around 9 months. I would not worry yet, but I agree with pp that more floor time would be good to help develop different muscles.

  I wouldn't use the walker....I've read that it can actually DELAY walking, etc. But, don't worry about the crawling! Mine didn't crawl til 8 1/2 months, his cousin at 8 months. He was just starting to sit good at that point and learned to roll both ways on his 6 month b-day. EVERY BABY IS DIFFERENT!!! Just make sure you give him more floor time. Tummy time, etc. Does he have a floor mat? To help with rolling over I remember putting him on his belly and just saying his name, eventually he wanted to see what was up so he'd roll over. And to help with sitting, make sure he has a range of different toys in front of him to keep him occupied. Good Luck! your baby's fine though :)

  He needs more floor time and no walker. Hold his hands and pull him up. make him use his legs. put him in the crawl position. keep him on floor or anywhere he can move freely on his own.
