Be sure to give it a lot of sun and not a lot of water. They like full sun and moderate to dry water conditions. Thymes are perennial and do not grow as fast as other annual herbs (basil, parsley, etc). If it's in full sun and you are not overwatering, be patient it will be fine come spring.

Thyme needs sun, and not to fertile soil. If it is grown from seed it may take time to mature.
