I'd say you're doing pretty good. All I knew after 3 months was how to play a D chord so you're well on your way.

About the only thing I might suggest is to start learning songs as soon as possible too. One rut that a lot of beginners get into is spending all their time learning theory, notes and chords but forgetting that the reason for doing all this is to play music.

The sooner you start putting on music and trying to learn songs by ear, the better you'll get. It'll also help you understand how chords are put together and why certain things are played the way they are.
