My son is 6 1/2 months old and can roll over (mostly tummy to back still) and can sit up for a brief moment by himself. I am wondering if we are not giving him enough time on the floor to practice these exercises and have been working on strengthening his muscles.
When did your LO sit up (unassisted), crawl, and pull him or herself up?

Little Miss Miss started sitting around 5 months. Got really good around 6 months. She's not crawling yet but pulls to standing and is getting pretty steady on her feet. She'll be 8 months next week.

DD was 5.5 months when she sat unassisted, crawled at 6 months and pulled herself up on furniture within a week or two of crawling. She cruises everywhere and stands unassisted for little bits at a time and has done so since 7 months or so.

4 months for sitting up, I want to say 6 for crawling & pulling up, cruising from 6.5-9, standing unassisted at 8, now walking at 9.

LO was sitting at 6 months, pulling up at 7, and crawled at 8. Babies learn at their own pace. LO had plenty of floor time, and we thought she would never get around to doing any of these things because she never tried or acted like she wanted to. Then one day she woke up and pretty much mastered it that day.

LO sat up unassisted between 4.5 and 5 months; didn't crawl until 2 days before she turned 10 months and just started pulling up a few days ago (she will be 12 months in about a week and a half). They all go at their own pace

LO actually crawled first at 6 months and then like a week later she started sitting up by herself. She started pulling herself up about a month later. She'll be 8 months on Saturday and I can't get her to sit down and sleep in her crib bc she keeps standing up.

Sit- between 6-7 months she got good at it but I don't think it was anything we necessarily did.

@Meggo5: it's a wonder my LO gets any practice. We don't do any floor time because of our dog. We mostly play on the bed. She stands in the crib or playpen.

Sitting up unassisted LO was on the early end at 4.5 months, and sitting very well by 5 months. Crawling just shortly before 8 months, and pulling himself up at 8.5 months.

Put himself into a sit - ~8 to 8.5 months
Stay in a sitting position after being placed there - ~6.5 months
Crawling - 10 months
Pulling up - I can't remember. Probably ~11 to 13 months
