when did your toddler start running/jumping

[shanniesue2]

DS is 23 months old. He started walking at about 13 months. And I'm just wondering when the running and jumping kicks in. When he "runs" now... it's not a real run... he's not really bending his knees... its more from the hips and just faster walking. He tries to jump, but doesn't get his feet off the ground yet. He likes "jumping off" of things (i.e. curbs and we have small foot stool).

Anyway, I'm not worried about it at all... I just want to know what the age range is for running/jumping.

Ds started running this week - 15 months. He doesn't jump or attempt it yet.

DS started running at about 18 mons and could jump with both feet off the ground at about 15 mons. He could jump with both feet off the ground while holding on to something like thew couch or the crib rail before he could walk at like 11 mons or so. He loves jumping.

jumping = 18 mos here.

Running I am not sure, he has been running for a while already. But jumping started about 3 months ago, really getting of the ground. He already jumped from the couch etc, but not from the floor into the air yet until a few months ago. He is 29 months now.

Running... about 13 or 14 months (he started walking at 9 months), with a lot of falling.

Jumping... um... Well he now (at 21 months) will "jump," in that he propels both feet up into the air. But... he doesn't land on his feet. He lands (on purpose) on his butt and then yells "FALL ON DUPA!" (dupa is our word for butt ). I tried to show him how jumping works and he just jumped himself onto his butt more emphatically. So... no interest .
