5month old development???

My son is 5 months old next week. He doesn’t lift his legs to grab his feet, he doesn’t attempt to grab his bottles when feeding. he doesn’t grab for toys unless they’re at his hand and he doesn’t roll either way. Should I be concerned? I have done all sorts to support him. Showing his feet to him. Putting rattle socks etc on. Help moving legs or hips to encourage rolling. holding toys within reach. Play gyms. Lots of floor play together. Massage and stretches of arms and legs. Plus massage of his back and tummy.
Is he just taking his time and will do everything at once out of no where or should I speak to someone???
any experience or guidance muchly appreciated. From a concerned mumma.

I’ve had a look at the 4 month Ages & Stages and none of that seems to be expected just yet.

It might be worth filling it in and seeing how LO scores?
