Consult pediatrician: Boys are usually walking later than girls. Some perfectly normal children don't walk until they're 16 or 17 months old. Sitting is a milestone performed earlier in life by 8 months. I think every child develops differently and may be taking time. Should consult pediatrician perhaps developmental pediatrician for input.
