Jack is 9 months old and he is not crawling yet, but he was born 8 weeks premature. My oldest was crawling at 6 months, 2nd and 3rd at 9 months, 4th and 5th at 10 and 11 months and my 6th was crawling around a year old. She was born 4 weeks premature. Jack is our 7th.

my 9 month old girl isn't mobile at all yet other then an occasional roll. i'm enjoying the extended time of relative peace! ;) she hates being on her tummy, so tummy time is a challenge and hence her arms (and upper body) aren't as strong as her legs (she loves standing and walking with mommy's and daddy's help and she's a good sitter). maybe she'll just get up and walk one day!

    she's just over a year now and doing great. our doctor isn't worried.

    Our pediatrician told us that it's ok to skip crawling and that they don't worry unless your child isn't walking by age 2. A few of my girls didn't walk until 14 or 15 months old. Your daughter sounds like my son in that she enjoys sitting and standing more than rolling or crawling because she's social and wants to be upright where she can see what's going on. Our physical therapist has our son kneel at the bottom of the stairs or at a couch cushion or roll on one of those big exercise balls to go down, pick up a toy, and come back up. He seems to like the kneeling more than traditional crawling position where he moves each hand forward then flattens out and rolls over to his back.

    That's not the norm. Your baby is ahead of the learning curve. My oldest was the same, but the rest were twice as long.
