The right preposition

Please could you help me with the right choice:

both work, they just have two different meanings: "from the time we can walk" --we don�t/ can�t established friendships before we can walk "by the time we can walk" -- we have already established friendships before we even learned to walk Douglas |

I prefer from. I feel that by requires to be used in the past tense. We have started friendships by the time we can walk. |
