My 15 month old dd did a somersault last night!!!

It really surprised me! She was being "naked girl" after her bath, running all over the house, squealing with delight. She likes to get up on the bed, roll around, bounce, stand up and fall straight back, etc. while she is being naked girl. Last night, while she was standing up, she bent over and put the top of her head on the bed. She did a couple of trial runs, unsuccessfully, then over she went! A perfect somersault!

Wow - that's pretty amazing! Looks like you have an athlete on your hands.

Wow! What a courageous girl! She sure knows how to have fun.

lol! My almost 15 month dd loves naked girl time too. SHe turns into baby gorilla and beats her little hands on her chest and takes off running - no summersaults yet! What fun.

How cute! My dd also started doing this at about 16 months.

That's great! My son loves being nakey boy, too. DH doesn't like for him to run around naked because of the pee factor. So we do nakey boy while DH's at work!

DS did an accidental flip off of the bed a few weeks ago. Went right over the footboard. He landed on a pile of clothes. If he hadn't been so sleepy, he might have thought it was funny. As it was, it was the "bump" that made him decide that he needed to rock and go to sleep.
