Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Don't worry as your child was almost 2 months premature, so he may take 2 months extra as compared to normal term babies to achieve any milestone. As per your description, he is perfectly normal. No intervention is required at present.
Take care
