A jumping flea

Babycenter.com's newsletter on 22-month-olds has this to say,

"But true jumping, where both feet leave the ground at the same time and then land squarely, is a skill that requires excellent balance and may take a few more months to master."

Well, minibeanie has been jumping with 2 feet off the ground for at least 2 weeks already. For some time, that was all he wanted to do. "Tump tump tump!". That's his word for "jump" :D First 1 foot then all of a sudden, he got it. Then again, he has always been ahead in motor skills. Couldn't say the same for his linguistic skills though. He understands us perfectly in Finnish and English (although he has developed some 'selective hearing' of late ;) but actually says a rather limited number of words. Apple, auntie, bath, car, bus, kakka, eyes, ice ("aye"), thank you, truck, bye... Well, all children develop at their own pace, I suppose!
