Is it normal for a baby's head to lean forward?

Patient's question:

The baby boy is three and a half months old. Every time he lifts his head, he uses his belly to push himself up, and at the same time, his feet are also curled up. When being held upright, his belly tends to stick out. Sometimes when being held sitting up, his head leans forward all the time. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Here's the translation of the provided text into English, with the return characters kept as they are:
Teach you a rhyme that we often use: Three lifts, four flips, six can sit, seven rolls, eight crawls, and by the eighth week, they walk. The meaning is quite straightforward from the literal words. Generally, children can lift their eyes in February, leap in June, sit by June, roll in July, crawl in August, and walk around around the age of one. To be able to sit, it's usually around June. By half of February, they can almost lift their eyes, and by June, they should be able to lift their eyes quite easily.
