My kid is about seven and a half months. She is not:

Crawling
Getting on hands and knees
Rolling front to back
Getting into a sitting position on her own
Pulling herself up (although she's working on this one)
Putting herself to sleep
STTN (she did from two months to four months but she grew out of it, alas)

We saw a health professional on Tuesday (the health visitor. I don't think you have an equivalent in the US) and she said that seven months is when babies really start to show their personalities and have their own priorities. By this age, most babies are above average in some areas and behind in others, because they're human.

L's certainly isn't interested in putting any effort into crawling or rolling. She can see that big people get around by walking! One of her cousins was sedentary until he was sixteen months old, when he learned to walk. The following day he learned to crawl. And he's one of the brightest, most inquisitive kids I know.

ETA: No teeth either, despite teething symptoms since she was nine weeks old.
