Is it normal for a three-and-a-half-month-old baby to tilt their head 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 in a sitting position, sometimes his head leans forward all the time. When being held upright, his belly tends to push up. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Here's the English translation of the provided text, 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 words themselves. Generally, children can lift their eyes in February, leap in June, sit up by June, roll by July, crawl in August, and walk around around their 18th month. To sit up, it's usually around June. By half of February, they're almost able to lift their eyes, and by June, they should be able to lift their eyes quite easily.
