Right before I read your post I was helping my son with his newest achievment. I'm so proud, Im truly beaming.
At the tiny age of seven and 1/2 months my son is WALKING!!! I am dead serious. This is a baby whom the ped was concerned enough to want to send for evaluations.
To this day he hasnt crawled and only rolled over twice. He's just (in the last 2 days) started putting things in his mouth and he's also just started sitting up. The day we moved in he sat for five minutes before falling over. I am so proud to be able to call this precious baby boy, mine.
Yay! Sounds like you have a perfectionist on your hands. Why bother with the crawling stage? Just figure out that walking business, it looks much more efficient! My husband was reportedly the same way with talking. He hardly babbled at all and then jumped to complete sentences.
