ds (17mo) is trying really hard but just stamps

thinking about it it must be quite difficult, thinming about springing, bending knees etc

Ds was 2 this week and is making a good stab at it. He has been trying for a few weeks but I don't think I will be entering him for the jumping Olympics just yet

DD when she could walk (13 months). She was born with springs in her feet and I think that's pretty exceptional. DS was about 2.5 which is probably more "normal".

Yes about 2.5 for ds. Although was trying from about 19mths.

About 2.5 as well for ds2. He's 2.6 now and trying to hop - very funny as it always results in him falling over!

DS was just under 2 I think. He did show a want to do it before then though - lots of stamping about & frustrated looks!

My DS is 2 and tries so hard to jump but can't quite get the hang of getting both feet off the floor!

I think ds3 was just under 2 as well. He's been able to do it since the summer and he was 2 at the end of August.

DS1 can't jump yet - he's 2.6. He can read though

DS1 was 2 and a bit, but I can't quite remember how big a bit - 3 months or so? DS2 did it at about 20 months (remarkably for one so uncoordinated in every other respect).

About 19 months, I think. It was hard to stop him jumping for quite a while after he worked out how to do it...

We bought a small trampoline for dd when she was 20 months old. She started jumping really soon afterwards.
