Baby development
My son 6 month 18 days old. He was born 20 days early before due date. I would like to have some questions regarding his development. He now balanced his head on his own also trying to get when on stomach with help of arms. But he still needs support to sit properly as I read by 6 month they sit without support. Although he grabs things easily, very very active, roll over easily everywhere.

No need to worry at all.. Not sitting without support by 8 months is only concern.
His other milestones you mentioned are appropriate so don't get worried. Give him some time.
