Mom of a 6 m old girl

Q. #Pediatrics My 6 months 20 days old daughter recently started making sounds like aa, etc. a week back and is constantly doing it on her own since then. she tries to sit independently, gets into crawling position, does commando crawl and reaches out for things, makes eye contact, smiles, laughs while playing with us and observes things. Areas of concern: 1. she does not have back and forth communication of sounds with us. 2. no babbling yet 3. not responding to name. at times we see if we suddenly call name after silence, she looks. not sure if this is just response to sound in silence or wat. please suggest.
