Yes, it is okay. Ask your doctor if you notice any muscle weakness on one side (like baby reaches mostly with the same hand)
A lot of babies don't reach these milesones early because they are on their back (which is a good thing, since it helps prevent SIDS). Try giving your baby as much tummy time as possible when you can supervise him. Don't worry if he fusses a little, frustration is how babies learn new things! Try putting a toy out of his reach, or even better lay down with your face near him but slightly out of reach and smile and talk to him. He will try to reach for you and after many of these playful sessions, he will probably crawl, creep or roll toward you.

Every baby is different. Neither of my boys crawled that early. My oldest started at 7 months and walked at 13 months. My youngest started crawling at 9 months and walked at 10 months.

Most babies learn to crawl between the ages of 6 and 10 months. Your baby may opt for another method of locomotion around this time, though — like bottom shuffling (scooting around on his bottom, using a hand behind and a foot in front to propel himself), slithering on his stomach, or rolling across the room. Some babies skip crawling altogether and move directly to pulling up, standing, and walking. Since the "Back to Sleep" campaign was initiated in 1994, more babies seem to be crawling later or skipping it completely. (The campaign aims to reduce the risk of SIDS by encouraging parents to put babies to sleep on their back.) Don't worry about his style; it's getting mobile that's important, no matter how your baby does it.

Oh course. they start crawling in a few months. My son is 9 months old and just crawling.
As far as turning over, you should take your baby to a 6 month visit and ask your doctor.
