Baby Doesn't Crawl At 7 Months

Please advise if it is ok if my baby doesn't crawl at 7 months. He doesn't want to use his arms, so he stays on his tummy.
Every baby we know, started to hold their head up almost from the 2nd - 3rd week, started to crawl from 5-6 months. Our baby started to hold his head up only from about the end of 2nd month after 10 classes of therapy.
Doctors say he is fine and that every baby is very individual.
Most of the babies we know started walking from 9 - 10 months. I do not know what to think. Are these babies too fast or our baby a bit too slow?
One difference I have seen is that all the fast developing babies woke up a few times during the night until about 1 year old. Our baby, however, slept from 22:30 to 7:30 from 2 months old.
I'll be very happy to hear any suggestions comments.
