What Causes The Infant To Avoid Crawling?

My 11 month old grand son does not crawl , pull himself up, nor has any interest in standing. He rolls to his back and pushes with his legs. He will stop and then arch his back and balance on his toes and top of his head. If he wants to look at something he tries to turn his head upside down. I have not seen or read of this. My daughter in law carries him alot , because he cries. Should I worry. -Concerned grandma
