This morning Ella jumped for the first time, or at least for the first time with enough vigor to get her feet off the floor. She's been doing a lot of "bouncing" lately, making jumping movements without her feet going anywhere. I guess she was scared of falling and finally got the guts up to try doing it hard enough to actually jump.
This is a good thing, as it shows her gross motor progress is catching up. She's 34 months old now, and jumping is a milestone for 30 months on most charts I've seen. While she's mostly been in the 7-9 month range, this item is only 4 months behind.
Go Ella Go! :)
A glimpse into the mind of a Father, and the growth of his family of three. Our daughter has mild to moderate dyspraxia, a disorder of motor learning, but she gets along just fine at her own pace.
