Charlie could stay in a sitting position if we put him there around 5 1/2 months, but he couldn't get to a sitting position and stay there on his own until he was 7 months. He actually started crawling (army crawl) at 6 months before he sat up.
Olive is going to turn 6 months soon, and she just started rolling over so I know she's a ways from sitting up. But sitting up is such a fun milestone, and it's easier to take pictures of them when they're sitting up!

LO is 8 months and still only really sits if we put her there. If she's in a seat that reclines, like her bouncer or swing, she will sit up by herself. But she doesn't go from laying to sitting.

I can't remember anymore! She was crawling at 5 months and cruising at 6 months but couldn't sit. I remember that because it seemed so weird that she could do those other things but could not sit.

Maddy is 5.5 months and started sitting on her own a couple weeks ago, she can't get into the sitting position on her own yet. I put her in her swing last week and she sat straight up, guess we can't use that anymore 
She tries very hard to situp, but. she gets 1/2 way up and very frusteratred!

my first was doing the tripod (gorilla) pose (where they sit up, but use their hands out in front of them for support) at around 6 months and sat nicely on her own more near 7 months. She crawled at around 8-9 months.
my second was doing tripod (gorilla) pose at 4.5 months, army crawling at 5.5 months and sitting independently a week after turning 6 months. She started "really-crawling" shortly after. At 6.5 months she could go from tummy/crawling to sitting by herself. It's too cute. Love that milestone.

You didn't have a poll choice for Lala, but she learned to sit up at about 4 months. I think it helped that she was super tiny and wiry at the time

LO is 8 months and just started sitting unassisted a couple weeks ago. She was doing the tripod sit a couple months ago i'd like to say. She still can't go from lying down to sitting, she just doesn't seem interested. She's more interested in moving.

It was at about 7 months. LO started crawling at about 7.5 months but more commando style than anything. At almost 11 months LO is now transitioning from commando to crawling.

Liv was sitting up on her own at around 5 months. She could get from laying down or on her belly to sitting at around 6.5 months, crawling at 7. Now shes 8 months and is all over the darn place, I cant keep her contained!
