He's crawling.... but that's not what he wants

Tad has finally started crawling. Belly off the ground, hands and knees moving, it's slow, but he does it. He doesn't love to be on his hands and knees unless you get down and crawl with him, then he'll laugh. But that's still not what he wants to do.

He'd rather walk, crawling is just a way to get there. He'll crawl until he can get to something to pull himself to standing. And..... he started WALKING this week! Not just the cruising along the couch or between people, WALKING! He loves to walk along the walls of the house and a couple of times I've seen him walk from one doorway to another because he can't reach to hold on. I thought that was daring of him. Thursday, Fred and I were chatting in the front room and Tad was by the entertainment center playing with his toys. All of a sudden we look at Tad and he's in the middle of the room walking towards us?!? He won't come if you try to get him to, he'll just sit there and wimper like he's scared, but if he wants to, he'll just walk wherever!
