Starting to think about walking?

Eli has been scooting around since he was 5 months old, and crawling like the dickens since he was about 7 months.  But I think it's this efficiency on all fours that is de-incentivizing his transition into walking.  Not that I'm a big mile stone pusher.  Especially with my second! But, it would be pretty convenient when we are out and about, as my little guy gets tired of being constrained, and I am remiss to let him slither all over stores or restaurants.  Oh well.  It will all happen soon!

Here he is over the past month, starting to get interested in this whole bipedal craze.
