The Jump

Last night I was laying on our bed and Solveig was tumbling around on it. At one point she walked up to the edge of the bed to make like she was going to jump off. Well she did. She literally sprang of the bad and made a clean landing. I was very impressed and shocked at the same time. I've only seen her slide off the bed on her tummy up to this point. When she jumped she did it with such confidence, without hesitation, and was so matter of fact about it. Perhaps we have a budding diver.

This morning I took some measurements to better appreciate this great feat:

• Soleveig is 23 months
• the height of the bed is 27 inches (2'3")
• Solveig is 34 inches tall (2'10")

As you can tell I was pretty impressed.
