[quote=Anonymous]Agreed with others--have it checked out, but don't stress. I would also try to figure out if he *can* roll over, or if he can't actually do this. My 7.5-month-old rolled over a handful of times (once a week or less) between 5.5 and 7.5 months and only started actually rolling over (to play, to get from belly to back, etc.) in the past week. Before that, although we knew he could do it since he'd done it on occasion, he'd still just cry and fuss if he didn't want to be on back or belly until you flipped him. My older child did not roll at all until 7-8 months. He crawled and walked on the later end (11 months/14 months) but is a completely normal preschooler now. (He is also hugely talkative despite the fact that he never cooed and did not babble significantly; second kid does coo and babble and I honestly had no idea how much they were supposed to be doing that until he showed up! Kid #1 did sign beginning at 8 months, though, and then jumped from there pretty directly to talking, albeit cryptically at the beginning, around 15 months. Just to say that there's a huge range of normal, as others have noted, and I wouldn't start worrying too much quite yet.) [/quote]
