Crawling right into Walking

Well, Josh started crawling around 7 months. It did not take him long to figure out how to walk by holding onto our fingers. He loves to walk around. Our animals will never be the same now that he is mobile. Our poor cat is always running away from Josh who is undeterred. He is a very persistent child and follows that cat everywhere. Anyway, I believe he will be walking before his first birthday. We shall see. He is already getting into everything and keeping us on our toes as it is. I am nervous on what he will do when he is walking on his own. Eek.
