We Have a Jumper!

Elsa hit the 19 month mark a couple of weeks back and she decided it was time to be a big girl. So, she hunkered down and went to town trying to master jumping.

To help coach her along, I developed the habit of saying "1 - 2 - 3, Jump!" and then she would bend her legs and try to jump.

Last week, she started getting her feet off the ground about half of the time and now she does it every time. It's cute to see how proud she is of this new skill. The only problem is that now she associates "1 - 2 - 3" with jumping. Totally backfired when I tried to discipline her the other day by counting to 3... oops!

Here she is right after accomplishing a jump for the first time; enjoy!

And because I didn't get a 19 month post written, here she is at 19 months:
