Not sitting up on his own...

My little man is 8 months old and he's not even trying to sit up or lean on something to sit up. My older son sat up at 4 months old (I know that's early), but my younger boy is just not wanting to really do a lot of physical things. He already says "mama, baba, gaga," and is attempting "dada"... he already cut his first two teeth, and initiates other people when he wants attention. He even "sings" when we get in the truck to go somewhere and I have the radio on... He took a little while to be able to hold his head up/ steady/ look around, and is just slowly getting the hang of floor time/ tummy time. He likes to roll around, but doesn't want to hold himself up in a sitting position on his own... ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Some children just start late I have 4 kids 3 of them didnt crawl till they were 9 months and some didnt walk till 14 months my daughter now is 8 months and crawling no teeth but some trying to come all at the same time about 4 of them. I would definately call my doctors office and make an appointment to see her express my concern and see what advice you get. I dont know where your from but in TX in the Panhandle they have a place called ECI that helps with this stuff so you might make a few calls and see what you can find out!

Have you spoken to your health visitor. I dont think its unusual. Hes probably so interested in everything else he hasnt got round to learning that bit yet.
