Lynn,
I would say your seedlings are a bit behind mine but not horribly so. A number of mine have increases, probably 60%, more in the roller and cobweb groups, where it's at nearly 100%. No surprises there though as they are so much more vigorous.
Right now it's very difficult to say much about the seedlings other than that some look interesting/ promising. I have a group of open pollinated seed from 'Michael' that is starting to show the waterlily forms and some of the seedlings from 'Sandi Lu' X self have REALLY broad leaves, so you see "indications of great things" but no clear proof. That's why I hate to get excited about things too early only to have my hopes dashed later! I hadn't used 'Aqua' as a parent previously but the seedlings from it look especially nice. Large and colorful and many with increase. All good things. I made a few more crosses with it this year after seeing how these were progressing.
Other than that it's one here and there in the bed that look interesting. One heuff seedling in a very bright red has me intrigued as do some with nice patterns of red on green.
