5 month old concerns

I have some concerns about my 5 month old, she is not yet laughing, she does smile and coo, she can maintain eye contact however it does always feel like she’s looking everywhere but your face a lot.
She is not putting anything in her mouth. When on her tummy she does not use her arms to support her and cannot lift her chest with her arms. When reaching for toys her arms wobble.
When holding her in a standing position she just bounces but not much weight on her legs, not rolling at all but does twist her body.
Obviously Googling isn’t the right thing to do but it’s made me very worried and I’m noticing the difference between her and others her age. I’m hoping I’m just over anxious about it????

Honestly? She seems absolutely fine.

There not much you can test at 5 months. If you're still worried at 6 months, I can post a couple of links if you like? Not point in looking at them now though, you'd just drive yourself daft with worry Flowers

Thank you for your reply. I am driving myself daft with worry 😅trying to convince myself to give her time, good to get other peoples perspectives too
